What the code does

Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Runs a command on install [пакет] package.json:1
setup.py: выполняет код при установке пакета

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Connect this server

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add mcp-apple-music -- uvx mcp-apple-music-server
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-apple-music": {
      "args": [
        "mcp-apple-music-server"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}
~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.mcp-apple-music]
command = "uvx"
args = ["mcp-apple-music-server"]
.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-apple-music": {
      "args": [
        "mcp-apple-music-server"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }

        "mcp-apple-music-server"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: APPLE_TEAM_ID (Apple Developer Team ID), APPLE_KEY_ID (Apple MusicKit Key ID), APPLE_PRIVATE_KEY (Apple MusicKit private key content (ES256, PEM format)), APPLE_MUSIC_USER_TOKEN (Apple Music user token for personal library access), APPLE_STOREFRONT (Apple Music storefront country code (default: us)). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

MCP Apple Music — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for MCP Apple Music?
MCP Apple Music runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the pypi package mcp-apple-music-server was installed 80 times last week.
How do I connect MCP Apple Music?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls mcp-apple-music-server straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use MCP Apple Music?
The pypi package mcp-apple-music-server was installed 80 times in the last week. Week over week that is -16%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is MCP Apple Music open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python, 42 stars on GitHub and 3 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
