"Copy my Spotify playlists to Tidal and keep them in sync."
Tidal, inside your AI assistant.
Connect Tidal to your Free Your Music account once. Then ask Claude, Cursor, Cline or Claude Code to read your playlists, move them to another service and keep them in sync.
npx -y @freeyourmusic/mcp install --host=claude-desktopWrites to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Quit Claude Desktop fully (cmd+Q on macOS) and open it again. The tools show up under the freeyourmusic server.
Ask about your Tidal music
"Create a Tidal playlist called Late Night with five Bill Evans songs."
"Which artists do I follow on Tidal?"
"How far along is my transfer to Tidal?"
What works on {serviceName}
With Pro, the assistant can edit your Tidal playlists. What it can change depends on Tidal and on the playlist: nobody can edit a playlist that somebody else made. The assistant reads what each playlist allows before it acts.

- Install the MCP server in your AI app with the command below, then restart the app.

Tidal MCP: common questions
What does the Tidal MCP server do?
It lets an AI assistant use your Tidal account through Free Your Music. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the way apps like Claude and Cursor call outside tools. You ask in plain words, and the assistant picks the Free Your Music tools it needs.
How do I connect Tidal to Claude?
Run npx -y @freeyourmusic/mcp install --host=claude-desktop (or --host=claude-code) and restart Claude. Ask Claude to sign you in to Free Your Music and approve the code in your browser. Then ask it to connect Tidal.
Does it work with Cursor and Cline too?
Yes. One server works in Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and Cline. Install it once per app. They all share one Free Your Music sign-in on your computer, and your Tidal connection lives in your Free Your Music account, so you connect Tidal only once.
What can my assistant do with Tidal?
It can read your Tidal library and move it to or from any other service you connected. It can start a transfer, follow its progress, turn on auto-sync and list the songs that did not match.
It can search the Tidal catalogue, for example to find the right version of a song that did not match.
With Pro, it can edit your Tidal playlists: add and remove songs, sort, shuffle, remove duplicates, split, merge and go back to an earlier version, where Tidal allows it.
Is the Tidal MCP server free?
No. The Tidal MCP server is part of Free Your Music Pro, together with the CLI, auto-sync, the playlist tools and playlist insights. Transfers in the Free Your Music web app and the mobile apps stay free, with no song limit.
Is this an official Tidal server?
No. Free Your Music builds it independently. It reaches Tidal through the account you connect to Free Your Music. To use it, install the @freeyourmusic/mcp package shown on this page.
Where does the server run?
On your computer, with Node.js. Your AI app starts it and talks to it over stdio, and it calls the Free Your Music API over HTTPS. You do not paste a server URL.
Can I connect two Tidal accounts?
Yes. Each connected account has its own id. Tell the assistant which Tidal account you mean, for example by its name, and it picks the right one from your account list.
Setup guides per AI app
Privacy
The CLI and the MCP server run on your computer. They call the Free Your Music API over HTTPS with your account session, which sits in ~/.fym/credentials.json and only your user can read. Your music service logins stay encrypted on Free Your Music servers and never reach your AI app. Tool results do go to your AI app, and what it does with them depends on its settings and its model provider.
Give your assistant the keys to your music.
Copy one command, restart your AI app and ask it to sign you in.
npx -y @freeyourmusic/mcp install --host=claude-desktopWrites to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Quit Claude Desktop fully (cmd+Q on macOS) and open it again. The tools show up under the freeyourmusic server.
