# How to connect DistroKid to Claude Code, ChatGPT and any AI agent

**Yes, Claude, ChatGPT and other AI agents can work in your DistroKid account.** DistroKid has no public API. Cotlet.dev connects your own DistroKid account to any AI agent, so the AI checks releases, earnings and metadata when you ask in plain words.

## What you can ask

> Which of my releases are live on Spotify and Apple Music, and which are still pending?

> What did I earn last month per release and per store?

> Check the credits and lyrics on my new single before release day.

> List my releases that have no YouTube Content ID.

> When does my next DistroKid renewal come up?

## Questions from DistroKid users

**Does DistroKid have an API?**

DistroKid has no public API for artists. Cotlet.dev works in your own DistroKid account, so your AI agent can check releases and earnings without one.

**How do I connect DistroKid to ChatGPT?**

Add Cotlet.dev as an app in ChatGPT (Settings → Apps, connector URL `https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1`), sign in to DistroKid once in your Cotlet.dev Cloud Browser, and ask ChatGPT in plain words. No code and no DistroKid API key.

**Is there a way to use Claude with DistroKid?**

Yes. In Claude Code run the one-line `claude mcp add` command above; in the Claude app add `https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1` as a custom connector. Claude then works in your own DistroKid account.

**Is there a DistroKid MCP server?**

DistroKid has no official MCP server. Cotlet.dev is a hosted MCP server that works in DistroKid for you, 24/7, with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, n8n, Make and Zapier.
