Nuclear
VerifiedAI agents control the Nuclear music player via MCP.
What is the Nuclear MCP server?
Nuclear provides a cross-platform desktop music experience with plugin-driven sources, themes, and library management. The MCP integration exposes player functions so AI clients can search artists, manage queues, and control playback directly.
It runs locally as a Tauri app with an optional MCP endpoint. Users configure connections in Claude, Cursor, or similar tools to let agents interact with their music library and streaming plugins.
