spotify-mcp: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

spotify-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from kylestratis/spotify-mcp. It costs 255 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A CLAUDE.md instruction file for a Python server that manages Spotify playlists through MCP, a standard way for AI tools to connect to software services. It documents the project, its tools, and how to run and check the code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it as a guide when developing, running, linting, or expanding the Spotify playlist server.
Why use it?
It gives the coding agent the project context and the commands needed to work consistently. It also records planned Spotify features and authentication requirements.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is kylestratis/spotify-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on spotify-mcp itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything spotify-mcp configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

spotify-mcp CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Project Overview

This is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Spotify playlist management. The project uses uv for dependency management and requires Python 3.12+.

Development Environment

  • Python Version: 3.12+
  • Package Manager: uv (as per user's Python directives)
  • Tool Manager: mise (as per user's Python directives)

Running the Code

uv run main.py

Verifying the Code

Use ruff with uv to lint the code and fix errors.

Project Structure

Currently a single-file project:

  • main.py - Entry point with placeholder implementation

Architecture Notes

This project is in its initial state. When implementing the MCP server:

  • The MCP server should expose Spotify playlist operations as tools/resources
  • Authentication with Spotify API will need to be handled (OAuth flow)
  • Consider using the mcp Python package for server implementation
  • Main functionality should expose tools for: listing playlists, creating playlists, adding/removing tracks, searching tracks
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
