Your music, in the conversation
Connect a desktop AI assistant through MCP (Model Context Protocol) to keep your music close while you work. Try “What’s playing in Sweet Spot?” or “What’s coming up in my queue?” Enable playback control to ask it to pause, skip a song, change volume, or queue a song from a YouTube link.
Start at Settings → AI & MCP. The guided setup helps you create a client and copy its connection config. The server is off by default, runs only on your computer, and requires a client token. Assistants have read-only access until you allow playback control. Sweet Spot must stay open, and music search is not available.
