Tidal MCP server

🎵 TIDAL MCP (Community Maintained Fork)

📢 Active Maintenance Notice: This is an actively maintained community fork of yuhuacheng/tidal-mcp.

The original repository appears unmaintained since May 2025. Contributions, issues, and PRs are welcome here!

Most music platforms offer recommendations — Daily Discovery, Top Artists, New Arrivals, etc. — but even with the state-of-the-art system, they often feel too "aggregated". I wanted something more custom and context-aware.

With TIDAL MCP, you can ask for things like:

"Based on my last 10 favorites, find similar tracks — but only ones from recent years."

"Find me tracks like those in this playlist, but slower and more acoustic."

The LLM filters and curates results using your input, finds similar tracks via TIDAL's API, and builds new playlists directly in your account.

🆕 What's New in This Fork

This community fork includes significant improvements over the original:

• ✅ Docker Support: Full Docker and docker-compose setup for easy deployment
• ✅ Search Functionality: Search for tracks, albums, artists, and playlists across TIDAL
• ✅ Pagination: Fetch all tracks from large playlists (no more 50-track limit!)
• ✅ Complete Playlist Editing: Add, remove, reorder tracks, and update metadata
• ✅ Refactored Codebase: ~60% smaller files with better organization and maintainability
• ✅ DRY Pagination Helper: Reusable pagination utilities across all endpoints
