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.

Comments
New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
