FAQ from Spotify MCP Server

How does authentication work?

The server uses Spotify OAuth. Start at the /login endpoint, which redirects to Spotify for authorization; after approval, Spotify redirects to /callback to complete the flow.

What are the runtime dependencies?

The server is built with Flask and requires Python. It communicates with the Spotify Web API over HTTP; no additional runtime is specified.

Where does user data live?

User data (playlists, current song) is fetched live from Spotify’s servers via the Web API. No local data storage is documented.

Does the server support any transport besides HTTP?

No. All endpoints are HTTP‑based; no alternative transports (e.g., WebSocket, stdio) are mentioned.

Are there any known limits or rate limits?

The README does not specify any server‑side limits. However, the underlying Spotify Web API enforces its own rate limits, which apply to applications using this server.
