Quick Start

Get started in 3 steps

From zero to music-native agent in under a minute. No dashboard, no web app — just your agent and our API.

1

Get an API key

Create an account instantly from the command line. No sign-up form, no email confirmation. Agent-first.

curl -s -X POST "https://api.recoupable.com/api/agents/signup" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"email": "you@yourlabel.com"}' | jq -r .api_key
2

Install the platform plugin

The platform plugin is the starting point. It handles auth, artist creation, and workspace setup. Add domain plugins after.

claude plugin install https://github.com/recoupable/recoup-platform-plugin
3

Ask your agent anything

Set your API key and start working. Your agent now has access to music industry data, content creation, and catalog analysis.

export RECOUP_API_KEY="recoup_sk_..."

# Then in Claude, Cursor, or Codex:
> "Research Joy Crookes — streaming, audience, playlists, competitive position"
> "Make a TikTok for Mari Vega"
> "Analyze this catalog deal" (drag in a data room)

End-to-end async pipeline: resolves artist, picks template, renders video, generates caption, returns post-ready clip.

Let's analyze a catalog with /recoup-catalog-deal

Interactive workflow: classifies deal type, scaffolds workspace, normalizes royalties, flags rights issues, builds dashboard, drafts IC memo.

Architecture

The BYOA architecture

Bring Your Own Agent. We don't make you use our app. We make your agent music-smart.

Plugins, not platforms

Recoup distributes as plugins that install into your existing agent environment. No new app to learn, no new login to manage. Your team keeps using Claude, Cursor, or Codex — Recoup adds the music industry knowledge layer.

Skills over endpoints

Each plugin bundles domain-specific skills — multi-step workflows that agents execute autonomously. A skill isn't a single API call; it's a complete workflow: research an artist, generate content, analyze a catalog deal. The agent handles the orchestration.

Context engineering

Recoup's real value is structured context. Artist knowledge bases, catalog data, industry benchmarks — all organized so agents produce music-industry-grade output, not generic responses. Context makes the difference between 'AI slop' and work you'd actually ship.

Marketplace distribution

All plugins are available through the Recoup marketplace. Install one plugin or all four. Each is independently versioned and maintained. Updates ship through the same plugin install mechanism — no migration, no downtime.

API

Full API access

Everything the plugins do, the API supports directly. Build custom integrations, automate workflows, or extend the plugins for your specific use case.

Artist Data

Profile, metrics (14 platforms), audience, cities, similar artists, playlists, tracks, career, insights, milestones, URLs, social posts, venues, rank

Research & Discovery

Search, discover (with filters), charts, genres, festivals, radio, web search, deep research, people search, entity enrichment

Content

Template browsing, async content generation, render status, social post scheduling, connector management

Platform

Account management, artist CRUD, org management, workspace scaffolding, external integrations (Google, social connectors)

Your agent is one install away from music-native.

Install the platform plugin. Run the getting-started skill. Start researching artists, creating content, and analyzing deals — all from inside the agent you already use.
