# music-assistant-frontend — The Music Assistant frontend

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 73.5K/mo

## What it is and what it does

Music Assistant Frontend is a Vue-based progressive web application that serves as the user interface for the Music Assistant server. It is distributed as a pre-built Python package but functions as a static web asset—a compiled, ready-to-serve frontend rather than a Python library or service. The package contains the production build of the Vue PWA, which is typically served by the Music Assistant server itself to provide browser-based access to music playback, library management, and server control.

The frontend uses shadcn-vue for UI components and Tailwind for styling, with TypeScript for type safety. It is designed to connect to a Music Assistant server instance (commonly running on port 8095) and communicate with it to control music services and playback. The package requires Python >=3.11.0 but is not a Python application in the traditional sense—it is a compiled web asset packaged for distribution via PyPI.

Use it for:

- Access Music Assistant server controls and playback from any web browser without installing native applications
- Manage music library, playlists, and provider integrations through a responsive web interface
- Deploy Music Assistant as a self-hosted music service with a modern, accessible web frontend
- Contribute to or extend the Music Assistant frontend UI by modifying Vue components and TypeScript logic

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Provides a Vue-based progressive web app (PWA) frontend for the Music Assistant server, enabling browser-based control and interaction with music services.

Yes, if you are running a Music Assistant server and want the official web-based control panel. Install it as part of the Music Assistant ecosystem to enable browser access to your music services. No, if you are looking for a standalone Python library or tool—this is a pre-built frontend asset, not a reusable Python module. Check that your Music Assistant server version is compatible with this frontend version before installing.

## Install

pip install music-assistant-frontend
uv add music-assistant-frontend
poetry add music-assistant-frontend

Quickstart:

pip install music-assistant-frontend==2.17.273

# The frontend is a static PWA asset; typically served by the Music Assistant server
# Access via browser at the server's configured URL (e.g., http://localhost:3000)

Requires Python >=3.11.0; intended to be served by a Music Assistant server instance rather than run standalone as a Python application.

Verify before relying:

- Whether this package is meant for end-users installing a frontend or for developers building/extending it
- How the frontend integrates with Music Assistant server at runtime (configuration, connection details)
- Whether additional system dependencies or Node.js tooling are needed for development vs. production use
