27mcp with Claude can't play YouTube Music, and it ignores my preferred service

Question

Hey y'allI connected 27mcp to Claude. My Sonos system has YouTube Music linked, and it's set as my preferred service in the Sonos app. I pay for YouTube Music, so it's my main service. When I ask Claude to play something without naming a service, it plays from Amazon Music instead of YouTube Music. The Sonos tech blog says 27mcp follows your default service settings when you don't name one, so that doesn't match what I'm seeing. The play commands also only accept Amazon Music, Apple Music, Deezer, Pandora, Radio France, Sonos Radio, and Spotify, so I can't name YouTube Music either. I reauthorized both Sonos and YouTube Music and got the same result. The one thing that works is saving a YouTube Music playlist as a Sonos Favorite in the Sonos app. Claude can play that favorite, and it plays through YouTube Music. It can't pick individual songs from it, though. Two questions:1. Is YouTube Music support planned for 27mcp?2. Should an unnamed request follow the preferred service, as the tech blog describes? Has anyone else with YouTube Music seen this?
