Spotify for AI agents

Spotify streams music and podcasts to listeners worldwide, who build playlists, follow artists, and pick up personalized recommendations across devices. Connect it once through Arc0, and your agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use it through one MCP endpoint, limited to what each user approved.

03 · HOW IT WORKS

Spotify in three steps.

  1. 01Your users connect SpotifyThey sign in to Spotify on Arc0 Connect, under your brand, and approve the access you ask for.
  2. 02You set the rulesReads run, writes like “create playlist” can wait for the user, and “remove playlist items” can be denied outright.
  3. 03Any agent can actYour agent calls Spotify through the Arc0 SDK or MCP, and so can Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor. Every call lands on the audit log.
POLICY.TS
await arc0.policies.set('spotify', {
  read: 'allow',
  write: 'ask',        // create_playlist
  destructive: 'deny',  // remove_playlist_items

04 · AUTH AND DATA

How Spotify connects.

Users sign in to Spotify on Arc0 Connect and approve the scopes you request. Build with Arc0’s Spotify OAuth app, or bring your own so the Spotify consent screen names you. Tokens refresh automatically, and you can export them whenever you want.

The same Spotify connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →

07 · FAQ

Spotify and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Spotify with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Spotify to Arc0 once, then add your Arc0 MCP URL to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or any other remote-MCP client. Each assistant only gets the Spotify actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Spotify?

Users sign in to Spotify on Arc0 Connect and approve the scopes you request. Build with Arc0’s Spotify OAuth app, or bring your own so the Spotify consent screen names you. Tokens refresh automatically, and you can export them whenever you want.

Q03

Which Spotify actions can my agent take?

88 in total: 59 read, 23 write and 6 destructive, such as “create playlist”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I stop my agent from deleting things in Spotify?

Yes. Actions like “remove playlist items” are graded destructive. Set destructive actions to deny, or to ask so the user approves each one, and blocked calls still show up on the audit log.

Q05

Can my own backend call Spotify too?

Yes. The same Spotify connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
