## Why use ONCE in Claude?

Not into always-on agents yet? Classic Claude works great. Connect ONCE once, then just ask: put out a song, check what's live, see how your releases are doing.

claude.ai, the desktop app and the mobile apps.

## What can Claude do with ONCE?

- Build a release (title, artist, tracks, writers, genre and release date) and check it against the store metadata rules before it goes out.
- Fetch your audio and cover art from a link you share.
- Submit the release to ONCE for Spotify, Apple Music and every other store ONCE delivers to, or just the stores you pick.
- Check delivery status store by store, so you know when you're live.
- Report streams for one release or your whole catalog once it's out.
- List your releases and read back what a release currently says.
- Save a draft and keep filling it in over several messages.
- Scan a track for AI before you submit it.

## Questions about releasing music with Claude

### Is it free to connect ONCE to Claude?

Yes. Connecting Claude to ONCE costs nothing and needs no ONCE membership. You pay per release, the same as in the ONCE app: 1 credit for a human-recorded song, 2 for an AI song, paid once with no subscription. Credits are bought in the ONCE app, not inside Claude. Claude's own plan is between you and Anthropic.

### Does Claude release music without my approval?

Claude confirms before it submits anything on your behalf. You stay in charge of what goes out, and you can take a release down whenever you want.

### Which stores does Claude deliver my music to?

Claude hands the release to ONCE, and ONCE delivers it to Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Tidal, YouTube Music, Pandora, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, iHeart Radio and the other major streaming and download stores worldwide. Ask Claude to pick specific stores, or leave it on all of them.

### Can I release AI-generated songs with Claude?

Yes. ONCE takes human, AI and hybrid music. Tracks from any AI generator are eligible when that generator's terms allow commercial release. Every upload gets an AI detection scan, and AI disclosure goes to every store.

### What link do I paste into Claude?

https://beta.once.app/api/mcp/claude. If Claude asks for a transport, choose Streamable HTTP. Sign-in is OAuth: you log in to ONCE in your browser and never type your password into the chat.

### What should I ask Claude first?

Try "What's live on ONCE right now?" Then hand it real work, like "Release my track "Halo" next Friday."
