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

setup-spotify-mcp 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

Set up Spotify MCP

Complete all reversible technical work yourself and ask only for the Spotify client ID or browser approval that cannot be obtained locally.

  1. Locate the checkout from SPOTIFY_MCP_REPO, defaulting to ~/dev/spotify-mcp.
  2. Ensure the ignored .env file contains SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID; copy .env.example when needed.
  3. If no client ID is configured, explain how to create a Spotify Web API app and register exactly http://127.0.0.1:8888/callback. Ask for the client ID only; PKCE needs no client secret.
  4. Run make setup. Let the user approve the Spotify browser page when authentication is missing, then verify the reported account is ready.
  5. For Codex installation or repair, run make codex-install and tell the user to start a new task. Codex owns the stdio process; do not leave make run open. Use make run only for standalone manual startup, where the foreground terminal intentionally remains attached.
  6. Report the concrete result. Never paste tokens, authorization codes, or credential-file content.

Spotify Development Mode requires the app owner to have Premium and currently limits allow-listed users. Playback additionally needs Spotify open on an available device.

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.
