## About

# YouTube Music MCP

🎵 A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI assistants to search for and play tracks on YouTube Music.

## Overview

This skill provides integration with YouTube Music through the MCP protocol, allowing you to search for songs by title or artist name and play them directly in the user's default web browser.

## Available Tools

- **searchTrack** - Search for music tracks on YouTube Music by title or artist name
- **playTrack** - Search and automatically open tracks in the default web browser

## Prerequisites

Before using this skill, ensure you have:

2. Cursor or Claude Desktop properly configured

## Installation
