[MCP] Implement token-based authentication to bypass Cloudflare captcha #45

@pranjalagg

Description

@pranjalagg

Problem

The current implementation is being blocked by Cloudflare captcha, which prevents users from downloading songs. This is a critical issue that breaks the core functionality of the application.

Proposed Solution

Implement a token-based authentication system that allows users to:

  1. Extract a token from spotifydown.com manually (one-time process)
  2. Use this token in the application to bypass Cloudflare protection
  3. Automatically refresh tokens when they expire

Implementation Details

  • Add token configuration to config.py
  • Modify spotify_api.py to use token-based requests
  • Update main.py to handle token validation
  • Add clear documentation for token extraction process
  • Implement token refresh mechanism

Benefits

  • Bypasses Cloudflare captcha protection
  • Maintains existing functionality
  • Provides better user experience

Note: This issue and the associated PR were created using GitHub MCP as a test to demonstrate automated issue tracking and development workflow capabilities.
