MCP server for Apple Music. It gives any [MCP client](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/clients) (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.**

*"Create a playlist called Road Trip and fill it with upbeat 90s alternative."* · *"Play my workout playlist on shuffle, and queue up Bohemian Rhapsody next."* · *"What have I been listening to lately, and what's topping the charts?"*
