What you can do with Spotify

Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.

Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.

Spotify API rate limits

180 requests per minute

February 2026 breaking changes: popularity, followers removed from tracks/artists. Search limit max reduced to 10.

These are the limits Spotify documents, not ones LiveContext measured. They can change and often depend on your plan, so check the Spotify documentation for current values.

Use Spotify from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect Spotify in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its Spotify operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)

[mcp_servers.livecontext]
url = "https://livecontext.ai/mcp"

[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"

Cursor, Claude Desktop and other JSON configs

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "livecontext": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://livecontext.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}
