Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Spotify every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Spotify — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Spotify do?

It exposes 37 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_v1_1_album_metadata, get_v1_1_albums, get_v1_1_album_tracks, get_v1_1_artist_albums, get_v1_1_artist_appears_on, get_v1_1_artist_discography_overview and 31 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

What is Spotify mostly used for?

Its tools cluster around artist, album and track. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.

Is Spotify working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 355 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Spotify?

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 is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Spotify need an API key?

No. Spotify completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 37 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Spotify?

It answers our handshake in 355 ms on average, which is faster than 50% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
