An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives Claude full access to your Apple Music account — search the catalog, browse your personal library, manage playlists, and explore your listening history and recommendations.
> Ask Claude things like:
> - "Based on what I've been listening to lately, recommend 15 songs I don't have yet and add them to a new playlist"
> - "Show me all my playlists and tell me which artists appear most"
> - "Search for albums by Nick Cave and add my three favourites to a playlist called Dark Picks"

1. Go to developer.apple.com → Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles
2. Under Keys, click + to create a new key
3. Give it any name, enable MusicKit, and click Continue → Register
4. Download the .p8 file — you can only download it once, keep it safe!
5. Note your Key ID (e.g. ABC123DEF4) and your Team ID (found under Membership Details)
> ⚠️ The Key ID is the alphanumeric code shown next to the key name — not the filename of the .p8 file.

cd mcp-apple-music
