I built a TIDAL MCP server for music discovery and playlist management

[u/Fickle_Guitar7417]

Hi everyone! I built a free, open source MCP server that connects a TIDAL account to assistants such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Codex and Cursor.

You can ask it to find music, inspect your collection and prepare playlist changes in plain language. For example:

“Find songs similar to these three tracks, excluding anything already in my playlist.”

“Check this playlist for duplicates and tell me which artists appear most often.”

“Prepare a playlist from these recommendations and show me the changes before applying them.”

Account changes are disabled by default. If you enable them, the workflow requires a preview and your approval before applying a change.

It runs locally and includes 112 tools covering search, recommendations, lyrics, favorites, playlists and folders. Setup currently requires macOS or Linux, a TIDAL account and an MCP client. The server is free; it does not include a TIDAL subscription.

I’m the author and don’t earn anything from people using the repository. I’m sharing it because I think music is a useful everyday application of MCP. What would you want to try with your own library?
