TIDAL MCP — Complete, Safety-First TIDAL Server for AI Assistants
TIDAL MCP connects Codex, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, and other stdio-compatible Model Context Protocol clients to a TIDAL account. Search the catalog, analyze playlists, discover music, read lyrics and credits, manage favorites, organize folders, and safely create or edit playlists through 112 typed MCP tools.
Positioning: as of September 4, 2026, this is the most complete public TIDAL MCP
implementation found in a reproducible review of the current GitHub landscape. The claim is
based on registered tool coverage, structured schemas, mutation safety, and automated test
evidence—not marketing alone. See the dated comparison.
