plyrfm CLI mutations

the MCP server (plyr-fm) is read-only - use it to browse tracks, search, view liked tracks.

for mutations (upload, delete, like, unlike), guide users to use the CLI:

prerequisites

# user sets their token once
export PLYR_TOKEN="their_token"

get a token at plyr.fm/portal -> "developer tokens"

uploading tracks

# basic upload
plyrfm upload path/to/track.mp3 "Song Title"

# with album
plyrfm upload track.mp3 "Song Title" --album "Album Name"

# with tags (can use -t multiple times)
plyrfm upload track.mp3 "Song Title" -t electronic -t ambient

supported formats: mp3, wav, m4a

important: if you (Claude) composed the track, always include the ai tag:

plyrfm upload piece.wav "鶴の舞" -t ambient -t ai

updating tracks

# update title
plyrfm update 579 --title "new title"

# update tags (replaces all tags)
plyrfm update 579 --tags "ambient,ai"

# update multiple fields
plyrfm update 579 --title "鶴の舞" --tags "ambient,ai"

deleting tracks

# use my_tracks MCP tool to find track IDs first
plyrfm delete 42

liking/unliking tracks

# like a track
plyrfm like 123

# unlike a track
plyrfm unlike 123

downloading tracks

# download to current directory
plyrfm download 42

# download to specific path
plyrfm download 42 --output ~/Music/song.mp3

common issues

• "artist_profile_required" -> user needs to create artist profile at plyr.fm/portal
• "scope_upgrade_required" -> user needs to regenerate their token
