Does it require a Spotify Premium subscription?

Yes, a Spotify Premium account is required to control playback.

How is authentication handled?

The server uses OAuth 2.0. Run `npm run auth` to generate an authorization URL, then the server automatically exchanges the code for access and refresh tokens, which are stored in a `spotify-config.json` file.

Where are the Spotify API credentials configured?

In a `spotify-config.json` file in the project root, containing your `clientId`, `clientSecret`, `redirectUri`, and later the tokens.

What transport does the server use?

The server is configured as a stdio‑based MCP server; it is launched via `node build/index.js` in Claude Desktop or Cursor MCP settings. No authentication or transport beyond the OAuth tokens is needed for the MCP connection itself.
