Qobuz MCP: questions and answers
What is MCP for Qobuz?
MCP stands for Model Context Protocol. It lets an AI assistant call tools that work with your connected accounts. Free Your Music provides a local MCP server for Qobuz, so you can ask about your playlists in natural language and let the assistant retrieve the details.
How do I connect Qobuz to Claude?
Connect your Qobuz account in the Free Your Music desktop app, then install @freeyourmusic/mcp for Claude Desktop or Claude Code. Keep Free Your Music open while using the integration. Start by asking Claude to list your connected services and your Qobuz playlists.
Can I use Qobuz MCP with Cursor or Cline?
Yes. The same music MCP server works with Cursor and Cline. Choose your AI app in the installer above to copy its setup command. Your connected Qobuz account stays in Free Your Music; each AI app needs its own MCP configuration.
What can an AI assistant do with my Qobuz playlists?
Ask your assistant to list Qobuz playlists, inspect a playlist, or retrieve its tracks. Use the results to compare track lists or turn playlist details into a table. Available operations depend on the service capabilities and the account you connect.
You can also search Qobuz for music by artist or title without switching away from your AI assistant.
With Pro, use supported playlist tools to create playlists and add or remove tracks on Qobuz. Ask the assistant to show you its proposed changes before applying them.
Is the Qobuz MCP integration free?
Free Your Music includes a free MCP tier for reading and up to 100 searches per day across services that support search. Pro unlocks supported write operations and unlimited search. Your music service and AI app may have their own subscription requirements.
Is this an official Qobuz MCP server?
Free Your Music develops and provides this integration independently. It connects your Qobuz account through the Free Your Music desktop app. Install the @freeyourmusic/mcp package shown in this guide to use this integration.
Does this MCP server run locally or use a remote URL?
It runs locally using Node.js and communicates with your AI app over stdio. The desktop app must be running on the same computer. Use the install command rather than pasting a hosted MCP server URL. Tool results are returned to your AI app, whose data handling depends on the app and model provider.
Can I connect more than one Qobuz account?
Yes. The assistant can list connected accounts and select the one you want to use. If you have multiple Qobuz accounts connected, specify the account when asking it to read or edit a playlist.

The MCP server connects to Free Your Music through a local bridge on your computer. Tool results go to your AI app; how that app processes them depends on its settings and model provider.
