An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives Claude full access to your Apple Music account — search the catalog, browse your personal library, manage playlists, and explore your listening history and recommendations.
Ask Claude things like: - "Based on what I've been listening to lately, recommend 15 songs I don't have yet and add them to a new playlist" - "Show me all my playlists and tell me which artists appear most" - "Search for albums by Nick Cave and add my three favourites to a playlist called Dark Picks"

Questions
What is the Apple Music MCP server?
Full Apple Music integration for Claude via MCP — search catalog, manage library & playlists
What tools does Apple Music expose?
11 in total: 9 read-only, 2 that write, and 0 that can delete or overwrite. Every one is listed on this page with its risk.
Is Apple Music safe to connect to an agent?
The audit found nothing in the source that contradicts what it says it does, and graded it B (89/100). Grade A is held back for packages that have also passed a sandboxed behavioural run, which is why a clean server reads B.
What credentials does Apple Music need?
It reads APPLE_KEY_ID, APPLE_MUSIC_USER_TOKEN and APPLE_PRIVATE_KEY from the environment. Give it a token scoped to the least it needs — an agent that can be talked into calling a tool can be talked into calling it with your credentials.
How does Apple Music run?
It speaks stdio, so it runs as a local process your client starts. It is published on PyPI as mcp-apple-music-server.
How current is this page?
The grade is for one exact copy of the source (76c8c1c3ae5c), read on 2026-10-08. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
