About Patchline

Patchline is an AI command center for the music business. You talk to Aria (the assistant) and Aria reads your catalog, queries streaming data, drafts pitches, plans releases, runs your storefront. Web dashboard + Claude plugin + MCP for AI editors.
Independent artists, DIY labels, managers, A&R, music publishers. Plus any AI agent (Claude, Cursor, Codex, Perplexity) that wants real music industry tools instead of generic web search.
No. Patchline doesn’t ship music to Spotify, Apple, etc. You distribute through Distrokid, Tunecore, CD Baby, or your label. Patchline imports the result and runs intelligence on it.
Generic AI doesn’t have your catalog, your roster, your audience data. Patchline is grounded in your real music business — every answer references actual ISRCs, actual streaming numbers, actual curator history. Generic AI hallucinates these details; Patchline doesn’t.

Pricing

Plans, AI credits, and limits live on the pricing page — we keep them there so they’re always current.

​
Aria

Aria runs on hosted frontier AI models combined with Patchline-built tooling. Exact model versions and providers may change as quality, latency, and safety improve.
Aria drafts. You approve sends. No auto-send. Direct social posting is on the roadmap.
Aria is grounded — it doesn’t invent. If a track isn’t in your catalog or an artist isn’t in your roster, Aria offers to import rather than guess.

​
Catalog & releases

Import via URL (Spotify, Apple, YouTube) brings in the metadata. But uploading the audio is what makes Patchline the home for your catalog — it unlocks the AI-readable caption, the Music Store, and smart links. Upload the tracks you actually want to act on.
Import brings in streaming metadata. Upload brings in the audio file and unlocks sonic analysis, AI captions, and Music Store delivery.

​
Storefront

Yes — on paid plans Patchline keeps nothing of the sale. Standard Stripe processing applies separately. See pricing for the breakdown.
Stripe Connect — money goes from fan’s card to your Stripe account directly. Patchline never holds your funds.
Digital music products: tracks, EPs, albums, unreleased downloads, instrumentals, and lossless files from your catalog.

​
MCP & integrations

Model Context Protocol. Open standard for giving AI tools access to external services as callable functions. Patchline ships two MCP servers — overview here.
Cursor, Codex, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, VS Code, plus any MCP-compatible client. Aria on Slack is generally available. ChatGPT support is pending OpenAI’s MCP rollout.
Tools that act on your data (catalog, roster, releases) need to know who you are. OAuth 2.0 with PKCE — your credentials never touch the AI client. See MCP overview.
