The MCP-AppleMusic server provides comprehensive control over Apple Music on macOS via AppleScript commands, enabling:

• Playback Control: Start (itunes_play), pause (itunes_pause), skip to next (itunes_next), or return to previous track (itunes_previous)

• Search and Play: Search library by query (itunes_search) returning "Track Name - Artist" format, and play specific songs by exact name (itunes_play_song)

• Playlist Management: Create new playlists with specified names and add tracks using comma-separated exact song names (itunes_create_playlist)

• Library Information: Get library statistics and user playlists (itunes_library), current playing track details (itunes_current_song), and formatted list of all songs with names and artists (itunes_all_songs)

Enables control of Apple Music on macOS through AppleScript commands, including playback control, library search, song selection, and playlist creation.

Provides legacy support for controlling iTunes through AppleScript commands, offering functionality for playback control, library management, searching, and playlist creation.
