What the publisher says

From the Applemusic repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

applemusic-mcp

MCP server for Apple Music. It gives any MCP client (Claude, Cursor, Cline, Windsurf) control of your playlists, library, catalog, discovery, playback, and the Up Next queue. Runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux.

A Mac or an Apple Music subscription is all you need. Four engines, chosen per call: Music.app and Safari on a Mac, the Apple Music API and Chrome on any OS.

Features

Four engines back the server. Native drives the local Music.app on macOS via AppleScript. API uses Apple Music's web API (amp-api.music.apple.com) on any OS. Safari drives your signed-in Safari's MusicKit on macOS (DRM-native, zero install). Chrome runs a local Google Chrome window with MusicKit for DRM audio on any OS. One mode preference picks the engine — auto (default) mixes the best of each: native Music.app for playback on macOS, Safari for the Up Next queue, the API for data, Chrome off-mac. Pin one with native / safari / chrome / api, or override a single playback/queue call with engine=. In the table below, the Browser column covers both the Safari and Chrome web players. ✓ supported, ✗ not possible on that engine, — not applicable there.

Everything in the API column runs anywhere, no browser and no Music app. Browser playback and the queue need a desktop session and a web player — Safari on macOS (no install) or Google Chrome elsewhere.

Setup

Requirements: Python 3.10+, plus either a Mac or an Apple Music subscription. The Chrome web player (cross-platform playback + Up Next queue) needs Google Chrome + Playwright. On macOS you can skip both — sign in via Safari and play through the Music app — so the default macOS install is lightweight (no ~500 MB Playwright). Windows/Linux include Playwright automatically (it's the only path there).

Claude Code, one line:

claude mcp add "Apple Music" -- uvx applemusic-mcp serve

Claude Desktop / Cursor / Cline / Windsurf, install once, then add the config block:

pipx install applemusic-mcp        # or: pip install applemusic-mcp
# Off macOS, also fetch the browser engine:  playwright install chromium
