Apple Music

Control Apple Music via MusicKit API and AppleScript. Path: ~/.clawdbot/skills/apple-music/

Local (No Setup)

Playback: ./apple-music.sh player [now|play|pause|toggle|next|prev|shuffle|repeat|volume N|song "name"]
AirPlay: ./apple-music.sh airplay [list|select N|add N|remove N]

API (Setup Required)

Requires Apple Developer account ($99/yr) + MusicKit key.

Setup

Portal steps first:

1. developer.apple.com → Keys → Create MusicKit key → Download .p8
2. Note your Key ID and Team ID

Then run setup:

./launch-setup.sh  # Opens Terminal for interactive setup

The launcher opens Terminal.app and runs the setup script there. Enter your .p8 path, Key ID, Team ID, then authorize in browser and paste the token.

⚠️ Agents: Always use ./launch-setup.sh to open Terminal. Don't run setup.sh through chat (requires interactive input).

Commands

• search "query" [--type songs|albums|artists] [--limit N]
• library add <song-id>
• playlists [list|create "Name"|add <playlist-id> <song-id>]

Config

config.json stores tokens (valid ~6 months). Re-run ./setup.sh if auth fails.

Errors

• 401: Token expired, re-run setup
• 403: Check Apple Music subscription
• 404: Invalid ID or region-locked

Setup Issues

• 404 on auth page: Setup script auto-fixes with HTTP server verification
• No token in browser: Restart setup.sh
• Browser won't open: Manually open printed URL (Chrome recommended)
