Tidal

Search Tidal, build playlists, follow artists and play tracks — as a remote MCP server or as a CLI whose every command speaks JSON.

LABSCO SUMMARY

The remote connector is three clicks; the CLI is what makes it scriptable.

Most people will want the hosted server — a URL, an OAuth login, done. The CLI matters for the other case: --json on every command means an agent can chain search into playlist-building through jq, and tokens refresh automatically so non-interactive runs keep working after the first auth. Adding a whole album to a playlist in one call is the kind of small thing that saves a loop.

What it is

A wrapper around the Tidal API v2, shipped two ways: a command-line tool where every command takes --json, and a remote MCP server for Claude Desktop and other clients.

What you get

  • 40 tools over the remote server, with OAuth authentication, safety annotations and 3 prompt templates
  • Search across artists, albums, tracks, videos and playlists, plus autocomplete suggestions and editorial search
  • Artists — info, top tracks, discography, similar artists and radio; albums by ID or barcode; tracks by ID, ISRC, similar or radio
  • Playlists get full CRUD: create, rename, set description, delete, add and remove tracks, reorder, and add an entire album at once
  • Library favourites for artists, albums, tracks, videos and playlists
  • Recommendations — Daily, Discovery, New Release and Offline mixes — with drill-down into the items inside a mix
  • History for recently added tracks, albums and artists, plus search history you can list, delete or clear
  • Save for Later as a separate queue from your library; share links for tracks and albums
  • Playback: stream info, direct URLs and local playback, with LOW, HIGH, LOSSLESS and HI_RES quality options

Requirements

For the remote server, nothing local: add https://tidal-cli.lucaperret.ch/api/mcp as a custom connector and log in to Tidal. For the CLI, npm install -g @lucaperret/tidal-cli with Node.js 20 or newer, then tidal-cli auth once — it opens your browser. A Tidal account either way. It is also published as an OpenClaw skill on ClawHub.

Setup effort

Add the hosted endpoint, then sign in — paste it into your client, then approve the OAuth sign-in
