What it does
A community Node.js MCP server, now named ArtistLens, that reads Spotify's music catalogue through the Web API. It signs in with the client-credentials flow using the client ID and secret of a Spotify developer app, so it works with public catalogue data rather than a listener's account or playback. Tools search tracks, albums, artists and playlists, return artist details, an artist's most popular tracks, albums and related artists, album and track details, new releases and available genres, and read playlist and audiobook information. The README now points to the @thomaswawra/artistlens npm package; the stored @thomaswawra/server-spotify package is the earlier name from the same repository.
