Model Context Protocol

Run distribution
from an AI agent.

The ToneGrid MCP server turns the entire partner API into tools an AI agent can call. Point Claude, Cursor, or any Model Context Protocol client at one endpoint, bring your own key, and let it create releases, manage rights, deliver DDEX to 220+ stores, and read analytics on your behalf.

The Idea

Your catalogue, wired for agents

Model Context Protocol is the open standard that lets AI assistants call real tools. The ToneGrid MCP server implements it as a remote endpoint, so any MCP client can operate a ToneGrid account the same way a developer would with the REST API, only in natural language.

The tool list is generated straight from the ToneGrid OpenAPI specification. When the API gains an endpoint, the agent gains a tool. Nothing to update, nothing to drift.

It is the same infrastructure your integration already uses. The MCP server is simply a second front door, built for the tools your team is starting to rely on.

The Toolbox

One tool for every operation

Reads are list_ and get_. Writes are create_, update_, and set_. Workflow steps are named for the verb.

Releases & tracks

Create, update, reorder, and submit releases. Add tracks, upload masters, set version types and audio specs.

Set streaming, download, UGC and sync rights, P and C lines, splits, writers, publishers, and statements.

hub

DDEX delivery

Preview and XSD-validate ERN 4.3, deliver or redeliver to every attached DSP, or issue a purge takedown.

tune

Supply-chain control

Getting Started

Connect in under a minute

1

Grab your API key

Any partner plan includes a tgk_ key. It is the same key that authenticates the REST API.

2

Add the server to your client

Point Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, or any remote-MCP client at the endpoint and set your key as a header.

3

Ask it to do the work

Start against sandbox, then flip to production. Destructive tools are flagged so your agent confirms first.

client config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tonegrid": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.tonegrid.pro/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer tgk_your_key",
        "X-ToneGrid-Env": "production"
      }
    }
  }
}

Secure by Design

Built to hand an agent the keys, carefully

key

Bring your own key

Every call carries your tgk_ key. The server forwards it and stores nothing, so there is no shared secret to leak.

warning

Destructive tools flagged

Delivery, purge takedowns, deletes and rejects are annotated so your agent can pause and confirm before running them.

science

Sandbox first

Flip one header to run every tool against an isolated sandbox with no live DSP delivery, then promote to production.

shield_lock

Scoped & revocable

Keys are scoped to one tenant and revocable in an instant. Reads and writes are separated by tool naming.

Give your agent the whole platform

The MCP server is one of the advanced capabilities ToneGrid ships for teams building on the platform. Read the full tool reference, or see what else the API can do.
