foo_ai

AI MCP control for foobar2000. Control your music player with an AI assistant!

Overview

This component starts a local Model Context Protocol server. You can connect to it with any MCP client that supports SSE (tested with GitHub Copilot and Cursor).

The AI assistant can send requests to get information from the running music player or invoke actions like play, create playlists, change volume, etc.

Compatible with foobar v2.0+, x86 and x64.

Example tasks

• "Make a new 80s rock playlist and play it."
• "What's the name of the currently playing track?"
• "Add this track to my 'Favorites' playlist."
• "What's the oldest song in my library?"
• "Turn up the volume a bit."

Installation

1. Download the latest release from the Releases page.
2. Double-click the downloaded .fb2k-component file to install the component.
3. Restart foobar2000 if it's running.
4. By default, the server will be listening on http://localhost:9910/sse. You can change the host and port in settings (Preferences > Tools > AI).
5. Add the URL from the previous step to your MCP client and voilà!

Available features

Tools

The server provides the following tools:

• list_library: List all tracks in the library. Can specify a query string.
• list_playlists: List all playlists.
• list_playlist: List tracks in a specific playlist. Can specify a query string.
• list_current_track: Get information about the currently playing track.
• add_tracks: Add tracks to a playlist.
• remove_tracks: Remove tracks from a playlist.
• remove_all_tracks: Remove all tracks from a playlist.
• move_tracks: Move tracks within a playlist.

Resources

The server provides a few resources. They are provided to support subscriptions. When a client subscribes to a resource, it will receive updates whenever it is updated in the player.

This isn't a crucial feature as clients can always call the tools to get the latest info, but it can be useful for real-time updates, if your MCP client supports it.

The following resources are available:

• current_track://.: Contains info about the current track: when it was last changed and it's playing/paused state.
• playlists://.: Contains the same info as the list_playlists tool - playlist names, track counts, last modification times, active/playing states, etc.
• volume://.: Contains the same info as the get_volume tool.
