# TIDAL Developer API MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > TIDAL Developer API lets your AI agent pull high-fidelity music metadata directly from the source. It handles album searches, artist discography audits, and tracklist retrieval without you needing to navigate the TIDAL app. It's built for anyone who needs to turn music data into actionable insights quickly. ## Overview - **Category:** productivity - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_XUL3i8uHRq4yLkAesDoVWDTqC5gdoK5FkpsDEh12/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** music-metadata, discography, audio-streaming, artist-catalog, track-lists, high-fidelity ## Description Imagine you're trying to map out a specific artist's entire career output or verify track lengths for a massive playlist. Usually, that means jumping between tabs, hunting for specific album IDs, and manually copying data into a spreadsheet. It's a tedious grind that leaves no room for actual analysis. This Connector changes that by giving your agent a direct line to TIDAL's data. You can just ask your agent to find every album by a specific band or get the tracklist for a particular record, and it handles the heavy lifting for you. You get a clean, structured look at the data you need for research, curation, or development. It makes the way you handle musical intelligence feel like a conversation rather than a data entry job. By connecting this to your workflow through the Vinkius catalog, you stop being a data scraper and start being a music strategist. It's about getting the right metadata at the right time so you can focus on the creative or analytical side of your work. You can quickly verify details like track counts and durations without ever opening a music app. It's your shortcut to high-fidelity music data. ## Tools ### check_api_status Verify the TIDAL service is running before starting a large data request. ### get_artist_albums Pull a complete list of albums for a specific artist using their unique ID. ### get_album_tracks Retrieve every track and duration from a specific album via its ID. ### search_tidal_albums Search for albums on TIDAL by name or artist to get high-level metadata quickly. ### search_tidal_artists Look up artist profiles to see their overall presence and catalog in the TIDAL system. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` Find the album 'Lemonade' by Beyoncé. ``` **Response:** ``` I've pulled the details for **Lemonade**!
