Set up Sonos 27mcp
Sonos 27mcp supports a wide range of LLM clients. Anthropic (Claude) and OpenAI (ChatGPT) offer it as a built-in connector or plugin (coming soon).
Any other AI assistant that supports MCP can register Sonos 27mcp as an HTTP MCP server.
Follow your AI assistant's own registration method, and register the MCP server https://mcp.ws.sonos.com/mcp to enable control for your AI assistant.

Troubleshooting
If commands from your AI assistant aren't controlling your Sonos products, test the same action on play.sonos.com. If you're giving multiple or complex commands, simplify and test one action at a time.
- If the action fails in the app: Check if the corresponding operation works on play.sonos.com - if not, the problem is likely not specific to Sonos 27mcp. If you need help, contact Sonos Support.
- If the action works in the app but fails via the AI assistant: The issue is on the AI assistant's side, not with Sonos. Refer to your AI assistant's settings.
