What they did
Can a bot run your family's music? He barely used his Apple Music subscription because he couldn't find music by style. So he taught his Meta Muse agent to use Apple Music through a free, open-source community connector (applemusic-mcp, not made by Apple), and now it manages a playlist for each family member. His kids ask "Carl" to add songs and play their playlist in the car. His steps: pin the versions (applemusic-mcp 0.18.0 with mcp 1.30.0), sign in once on your own computer, then copy the token file to the machine your agent runs on.
How it went
Your agent can search Apple Music and manage family playlists.
Worth knowing
- One user's tutorial post. It's an unofficial community project that can break when Apple changes things, and the token file works like a password. He reviewed the code first; do the same.
Prompt
Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.
Connect to my Apple Music account using the open-source applemusic-mcp server. First read its code and tell me if anything looks unsafe. Install applemusic-mcp 0.18.0 and mcp 1.30.0 exactly, and walk me through signing in on my own computer, then copying music_user_token.json to your machine. Never show the token in chat. Test by listing my playlists. Then make a playlist for each family member: [names and styles they like].

Try it in Grok Bot
Grok Bot can use the same connector on its computer once the token file is copied there.
- Copy the prompt (button below).
- Open Grok Bot chat and paste it. Replace any [bracketed] placeholders.
- Connect the listed tools (as needed) as connectors when Grok Bot asks.
- If the task repeats, ask: "Make this a daily routine."
Alternatives: the same prompt works in Meta Muse, Claude, ChatGPT Agent, OpenClaw.
Set it up
