README

TIDAL MCP: My Custom Picks 🌟🎧

Demo: Music Recommendations in Action

When exploring music on platforms like Spotify or TIDAL, there’s no shortage of recommendation features — Daily Discovery, New Arrivals, Top Artists, and more. But more often than not, I'd like something more direct and customizable. For example:

"Based on my last 10 favorites, find similar tracks — but only ones from recent years."

"Find me tracks like those in this playlist, but slower and more acoustic."

Even with state-of-the-art recommendation systems, the results often feel too "aggregated" and not tuned to what I want right now.

TIDAL MCP bridges that gap by giving an LLM access to your favorites, playlists, and its track radio API, letting it find similar tracks based on any seeds you pick. It then layers in additional filtering — using the LLM’s knowledge or external tools like web search — to match your specific vibe. Finally, it can create new playlists for you directly in your TIDAL account.

Suggested Prompt Starters

Once configured, you can interact with your TIDAL account through a LLM by asking questions like:

“Recommend songs like those in this playlist, but slower and more acoustic.”
“Create a playlist based on my top tracks, but focused on chill, late-night vibes.”
“Find songs like these in playlist XYZ but in languages other than English.”

💡 You can also ask the model to:

Use more tracks as seeds to broaden the inspiration.
Return more recommendations if you want a longer playlist.
Or delete a playlist if you’re not into it — no pressure!
