Frequently Asked Questions

Is my Spotify data secure?

Yes. We use OAuth (the same "Sign in with Spotify" flow used everywhere). We never see your password or store your listening history. We only maintain a connection token that lets us proxy API requests on your behalf.

What permissions do you need?

We request read access to your library, playlists, and playback state, plus write access to control playback and modify playlists. You can see exactly what we request during OAuth authorization.

Can I disconnect anytime?

Yes. One click in your hub disconnects Spotify and revokes access. You can also revoke access directly in your Spotify account settings.

What AI tools does this work with?

Any MCP-compatible client: Claude Desktop, Cursor, Continue, and more. One connection works with all.

Do I need Spotify Premium?

Some playback control features require Spotify Premium. The API can read your library and playlists on any account, but controlling playback (play, pause, skip) requires Premium.

Why can't the AI start Spotify?

The Spotify API requires an active device to send playback commands to. You need to have Spotify open on at least one device (phone, computer, web player) before the AI can control it.
