IDOL's Labelcamp has launched an AI Connector for labels and distributors that integrates with AI assistants including Claude and ChatGPT, alongside a feature letting rightsholders control how AI companies use their music. The company reported 23% revenue growth between July 2025 and June 2026.
Why it matters
The tools give music rightsholders a way to manage catalogue operations and set terms for AI use of their recordings. The reported growth reflects new clients across Europe, LATAM and APAC as well as organic growth from existing clients.
Labelcamp reported 23% revenue growth between July 2025 and June 2026, and says it manages 10 million tracks for 30+ third-party B2B clients across six continents. The figures are company-reported, and the source does not state a prior-period baseline for the growth rate.
The players
Labelcamp
Labelcamp is a music rights and distribution platform operated under IDOL that serves labels and distributors worldwide.
The details
The AI Connector runs alongside Labelcamp's existing dashboard and uses the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard, so assistants can work with platform data without exposing sensitive information. Users can make natural-language requests to analyse streaming trends and playlist performance, adjust territorial rights, bulk-update metadata, reschedule album rollouts, add missing DSP artist IDs, and ask why a platform rejected a delivery. Labelcamp can also communicate AI transparency tags to DSPs and set rules on whether recordings can be used for AI training and generation.

Industry Dynamics
The launch builds on the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard for connecting AI assistants to external software, and applies it to music catalogue administration and AI-use rights. It places music distribution tools in direct integration with general-purpose assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT.
For music rightsholders, the AI Connector lets them manage catalogue metadata, rollouts and territorial rights through a conversational interface alongside the existing dashboard. The rights feature gives them a way to signal whether their recordings may be used for AI training and generation.
The takeaway
For rightsholders, the practical step is to review how AI transparency tags and training-use rules will be applied to their releases before those settings reach DSPs. Keeping catalogue metadata and DSP artist IDs complete can reduce delivery rejections.
