## Configuration

### Getting Spotify API Keys
Create an account on [developer.spotify.com](https://developer.spotify.com/). Navigate to [the dashboard](https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard).
Create an app with redirect_uri as http://localhost:8888. (You can choose any port you want but you must use http and localhost).
I set "APIs used" to "Web Playback SDK".

### Run this project locally
This project is not yet set up for ephemeral environments (e.g. `uvx` usage).
Run this project locally by cloning this repo

```bash
git clone https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers.git
```

Add this tool as a mcp server.

On MacOS: `~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
On Windows: `%APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`

```json
"spotify": {
"command": "uv",
"args": [
"--directory",
"/path/to/spotify_mcp",
"run",
"spotify-mcp"
],
"env": {
"SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID": YOUR_CLIENT_ID,
"SPOTIFY_CLIENT_SECRET": YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET,
"SPOTIFY_REDIRECT_URI": "http://localhost:8888"
}
}
```

## TODO

Unfortunately, a bunch of cool features have [now been deprecated](https://techcrunch.com/2024/11/27/spotify-cuts-developer-access-to-several-of-its-recommendation-features/)
from the Spotify API. Most new features will be relatively minor or for the health of the project:
- tests.
- adding API support for managing playlists.
- adding API support for paginated search results/playlists/albums.

## Deployment

(todo)

### Building and Publishing

To prepare the package for distribution:

1. Sync dependencies and update lockfile:
```bash
uv sync
```

2. Build package distributions:
```bash
uv build
```

This will create source and wheel distributions in the `dist/` directory.

3. Publish to PyPI:
```bash
uv publish
```

Note: You'll need to set PyPI credentials via environment variables or command flags:
- Token: `--token` or `UV_PUBLISH_TOKEN`
- Or username/password: `--username`/`UV_PUBLISH_USERNAME` and `--password`/`UV_PUBLISH_PASSWORD`

### Debugging

Since MCP servers run over stdio, debugging can be challenging. For the best debugging
experience, we strongly recommend using the [MCP Inspector](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/inspector).

You can launch the MCP Inspector via [`npm`](https://docs.npmjs.com/downloading-and-installing-node-js-and-npm) with this command:

```bash
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uv --directory /Users/varun/Documents/Python/spotify_mcp run spotify-mcp
```

Upon launching, the Inspector will display a URL that you can access in your browser to begin debugging.
