spotify-mcp

Use when the user wants to GENERATE a playlist or queue from a vibe, mood, or theme rather than naming specific tracks. Covers: 'make a playlist for late-night drives', 'build a dark americana mix', 'queue something melancholy and acoustic', 'I need workout music', 'put together a wedding ceremony playlist'. Use this skill to brainstorm tracks from music knowledge, search Spotify to verify availability, then either queue them or create a playlist. Requires the spotify-mcp server (mcp__spotify__*).

Use when the user wants to CONTROL Spotify playback: play a track/album/playlist by name, pause, resume, skip, go back, queue something, change volume, seek to a position, or check what's playing and on which device. Covers natural-language requests like 'play Pancho and Lefty by Townes Van Zandt', 'pause', 'skip this', 'queue up the next Halsey album', 'what's playing right now?', 'crank the volume to 80'. Requires the spotify-mcp server (mcp__spotify__*) to be configured.

Use when the user wants to MANAGE their Spotify playlists: create a new one, list theirs, view one's metadata, rename, change description or visibility, add tracks, or remove tracks. Covers requests like 'add this song to my Outlaw Country Gothic playlist', 'create a new playlist called Late Night Drives', 'show me my playlists', 'rename X to Y', 'remove the last 5 tracks from Z'. Requires the spotify-mcp server (mcp__spotify__*).
