Your music isn’t
our business.

We don’t receive, store, or look at your music activity. Cratebird has no developer-operated backend, ads, analytics, or tracking.

Recovery history stays on your Mac. Apple Music and your chosen agent process the requests you make through them.

Your agent brings
the imagination.

Cratebird works with agents that support local stdio MCP servers. It includes copyable connection settings for Codex and a standard JSON format for other compatible agents.

You’ll need macOS 14 or later, an Apple Music subscription, Sync Library, and a compatible agent. Agent services are separate and may have their own fees.
