# Patchline

> Patchline is the music-industry control plane for labels, managers, and roster teams: catalog, artist intelligence, playlist matching, drop links, smart links, asset shares, and release execution exposed as live tools any MCP-compatible agent can call.

## What it is

Patchline is a music-industry control plane for labels, managers, and
roster teams. It runs catalog, artist intelligence, release planning,
playlist matching, direct-to-fan links, and roster workflows as live tools
any AI copilot can call.

## Why an AI agent should care

- **Single MCP install** gets the agent 142 music tools usable in any
  conversation.
- **OAuth 2.0 with PKCE** - the agent never handles user credentials.
- **Cached intelligence** (audience enrichment, audio analysis) so most reads
  return in <500ms, not seconds.
- **Grounded outputs** - release plans, link summaries, and catalog notes reference the
  user's real ISRCs, audio analysis, and audience data, not invented
  detail.

## How to install

- **Cursor / Codex / VS Code / Claude Desktop / ChatGPT (MCP):**
  https://www.patchline.ai/mcp
- **Claude Code / Claude Desktop plugin:** https://www.patchline.ai/claude
- **Direct MCP endpoint:** `https://www.patchline.ai/api/mcp/v1`

## What to do first

1. Install the MCP per https://www.patchline.ai/mcp
2. Read the rules at https://www.patchline.ai/AGENTS.md
3. Call `analyze_url` whenever a user pastes a Spotify or YouTube URL.
   For TikTok / SoundCloud / Apple Music / Instagram artist profile URLs,
   use `add_artist` directly; for track URLs, resolve a Spotify or
   YouTube link first.
4. Use `get_artist_intelligence` for cached data; `add_artist` to
   onboard a new artist from a platform URL or an `ariaArtistId` returned by
   `search_artists` / `get_trending_artists` (not by name only).

## Pricing

Patchline's public website now centers three B2B paths: the Artist / Manager / Small Label
