## AI integration (MCP)

Riffboard is MCP-native: it exposes over 100 MCP (Model Context Protocol) tools covering every feature in the platform, so users can connect Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP-compatible assistant and manage tasks, log metrics, update the fan CRM, plan releases, and query their data conversationally. There is no AI baked into the product itself — no auto-generated content or suggestion engine; AI participates only as a user-connected agent acting under the user's direction and permissions.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is Riffboard?

Riffboard is an all-in-one management platform for indie artists and small labels. It combines release management, a superfan CRM, venue booking pipeline, task management with automated templates, a metrics dashboard, electronic press kit (EPK), link-in-bio page, release smart links, rehearsal scheduling, and AI agent integration — all in a single dashboard. It is built by working musicians in Haarlem, Netherlands.

### Is Riffboard a web app or a desktop app?

Riffboard is a web application — it runs entirely in your browser at riffboard.com, with nothing to download or install. It works on any operating system, including Windows, macOS, and Linux. Riffboard is not a desktop program, browser extension, or plugin. If you prefer working outside the browser, you can connect an AI assistant like Claude or ChatGPT via MCP and manage your workspace from a chat window.

### Who is Riffboard for?

Riffboard is built for independent musicians, DIY artists, bands, and small record labels who need to manage their music career without a full management team. It serves three main audiences: solo indie artists who need speed and simplicity, band members collaborating with 2-5 people who need clear ownership and task tracking, and label or management teams coordinating across multiple artists who need cross-workspace visibility.

### How much does Riffboard cost?

Riffboard has three plans. The Free plan includes core features like task management, calendar, one release, and a basic EPK — free forever with no credit card required. Pro Artist is €12/mo or €120/yr (effectively €10/mo billed annually) and unlocks unlimited releases, the superfan CRM, metrics dashboard, advanced analytics, task templates, and full EPK/Linkboard customization. Label/Agency is €39/mo or €396/yr for managing multiple artist workspaces with shared contacts, venues, and templates. All paid plans include a 14-day free trial.

### What is included in the free plan?

The Riffboard Free plan includes up to 3 team members, 1 workspace, 1 active release, a basic electronic press kit (EPK), a Linkboard (link-in-bio page) with 3 pinned links, release smart links, task management, calendar, venue database, and AI agent access. Pro features like the superfan CRM, metrics dashboard, advanced analytics, task templates, and full appearance customization require the Pro Artist plan.

### How do I get started with Riffboard?

Getting started with Riffboard takes under 5 minutes. Sign up for a free account at riffboard.com — no credit card required. Set up your artist profile by adding team members and configuring your workspace. Then start adding releases, shows, tasks, venues, and fans. The 14-day free trial gives you access to all Pro features so you can explore the full platform before deciding on a plan.

### Does Riffboard support AI integration?

Yes. Riffboard supports AI agent integration via MCP (Model Context Protocol), the same open standard used by Claude, ChatGPT, and other AI assistants. You can connect your AI assistant and let it manage tasks, log streaming metrics, update your fan CRM, plan releases, create events, and query your data — all through natural conversation. Riffboard provides over 100 MCP tools covering every feature in the platform, making it one of the most AI-accessible music management tools available.

### What features does Riffboard include?

Riffboard includes: release and discography management with ISRC tracking and writer splits; a superfan CRM with fan funnel stages and engagement tracking; a venue database with booking pipeline and interaction history; task management with kanban boards and automated templates; a calendar for shows, rehearsals, and deadlines; an electronic press kit (EPK) with a public URL; a Linkboard (link-in-bio page) with email signup; release smart links with click analytics; rehearsal scheduling with availability polls and shareable links; setlist building; North Star goal tracking; a metrics dashboard for Spotify, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Bandcamp; and AI agent integration via MCP.

### Can I export my data from Riffboard?

Yes. Riffboard Pro includes CSV data export for your workspace data including contacts, venues, fans, tasks, and metrics. Your data is yours — you can export it at any time for backups, analysis, or migration. Riffboard also provides full API access via MCP tools, so AI assistants can read and write your data programmatically.

### What makes Riffboard different from other music management tools?

Most indie artists manage their career across 5-6 disconnected tools: a link-in-bio service, a task board, an EPK builder, an analytics tracker, and a fan email tool. Riffboard combines the parts you actually use from all of these into one integrated platform. Because everything is connected, your smart link knows about your release, your task board knows about your show, and your fan list knows who actually came. It also natively supports AI assistants via MCP, so you can manage your career through conversation. Pricing starts at €10/mo for the full platform.

### Does Riffboard have a link-in-bio page?

Yes. Riffboard includes a Linkboard — a customizable link-in-bio page that automatically pulls in your latest releases, upcoming shows, social links, and EPK. Pro users can fully customize colors, fonts, and button styles, add up to 20 pinned links, enable a fan email signup form, generate a QR code, and view detailed click analytics. It replaces standalone link-in-bio tools like Linktree.

### Does Riffboard have an electronic press kit?

Yes. Every Riffboard workspace includes an EPK (electronic press kit) with a clean public URL you can share with bookers, press, and festivals. It includes your bio, press photos, embedded music and videos, press quotes, and a booking inquiry form. Pro users can create multiple EPK variants for different audiences (e.g., one for bookers, one for press), clone variants, and view analytics on who is viewing your EPK.

## Labels & agencies FAQ

### Can Riffboard manage multiple artists at once?

Yes. Riffboard's organization layer lets labels and agencies manage multiple artist workspaces under one account. Each artist gets their own workspace for releases, shows, tasks, and metrics, while shared resources like contacts, venues, and task templates cascade from the org level.

### What is Riffboard's organization mode for labels?

Riffboard's org mode is a multi-tenant layer that sits above individual artist workspaces. It provides shared contacts and venues, cascading task templates, functional roles with default responsible individuals (DRI), team management across workspaces, and granular role-based permissions — all managed from a single org dashboard.

### How does Riffboard handle shared contacts across artists?

Contacts created at the organization level are automatically shared with all artist workspaces. Each workspace can add their own notes, tags, and custom fields on top of shared contacts without affecting other workspaces. This eliminates duplicate data entry for publicists, distributors, booking agents, and other industry contacts.

### What Riffboard plan do I need for a label or agency?

The Label / Agency plan is €39/mo, or €396/yr (effectively €33/mo billed annually). It includes 3 artist workspaces — additional workspaces are €8/mo each — plus unlimited team members, shared contacts and venues, and org-level cascading templates. Like all paid plans, it starts with a 14-day free trial, no credit card required.

### Can I assign team members to specific artists in Riffboard?

Yes. Team members are invited to your organization and then assigned to specific artist workspaces with granular role-based permissions. Org-level roles set a baseline, and workspace roles can extend them. This lets you control who sees what — for example, interns can see tasks but not financials.
