Bandcamp has an API, but only for labels and merchandise fulfillment partners, who get access by emailing Bandcamp (checked 11 Oct 2026). Cotlet is a hosted MCP server and REST API for Bandcamp with 13 endpoints (6 read, 7 write): your AI agent signs in as you and does the work.
Bandcamp has an API, but only for labels and merchandise fulfillment partners, who get access by emailing Bandcamp (checked 11 Oct 2026). It covers sales reports, merch orders, shipping status and stock; it has no calls for releases, discount codes, track/album codes, refunds or Community messages.

Cotlet is best for Bandcamp artists and labels who are not developers and want their AI agent to ship merch orders, report sales, adjust stock and run discount and download codes without running or fixing a server.
Here is today's Pirate Ship export. Match each tracking number to my unshipped Bandcamp orders by buyer name and mark them shipped with a short thank-you note. Your agent calls list_merch_orders and mark_order_shipped.
Build last month's Bandcamp report: net revenue per release, split by artist on my label, with shipping, taxes and discount codes shown separately. Your agent calls export_sales_report and list_sales.
We sold 9 black Night Drive LPs, 4 red ones and 11 tour tees (3 S, 5 M, 3 L) at the merch table last night. Take them off my Bandcamp stock and tell me what is low. Your agent calls list_merch_items and update_merch_quantity.
Make a 20% code NIGHTDRIVE20 for the Night Drive album, digital and vinyl, valid until 31 October, and draft a Community message about it for me to approve. Your agent calls list_releases, create_discount_code and send_community_message.
Generate track/album codes in bulk
Generate 100 album codes for the Tour EP in a batch called tour-2026 and tell me how many are redeemed in my old batches. Your agent calls list_releases, generate_track_album_codes and list_track_album_codes.
Endpoints
What is the Bandcamp API?
Cotlet's Bandcamp API exposes 13 endpoints for your own Bandcamp account: list releases, list sales, export sales report, list merch orders, list merch items, list track/album codes, mark order shipped, refund merch order, update merch quantity, update release, create discount code, generate track/album codes and send Community message. The list_releases endpoint returns albums and tracks on your account with price, release date and visibility. Each endpoint takes simple JSON inputs like since, until or release_id and works both as an MCP tool for agents and as a REST call for scripts.
Albums and tracks on your account with price, release date and visibility.
read
Lists the releases on your account, the same items the Bulk Edit page shows. Filter by digital or physical and by public, private or draft. Use release_id from each item in the other tools.
Sales line items for a date range, with the net amount of each.
read
Returns the lines of your raw data sales report, oldest first: each line is the sale of an item, a payout or a sale reversal. Use export_sales_report for the revenue summary or the payout statement.
One of the three reports from your Tools page for a date range.
read
Returns the report you pick: revenue_summary (gross and net revenue, shipping and tax for a release or the whole catalog), payout_statement (which sales are in each bulk payout) or raw_data. For revenue_summary you can narrow the report to one release.
POST /api/v1/bandcamp/export_sales_report
Input
Input: export_sales_report
Parameter
Type
Description
report required
enum
revenue_summary, payout_statement or raw_data.
since
date
Start of the date range. Default: 30 days ago.
until
date
End of the date range. Default: today.
release_id
string
revenue_summary only: limit the report to this release.
Orders from your Merch Orders page with items, buyer and shipping address.
read
Lists physical orders from your Merch Orders page, newest first, with the items bought, the buyer, the shipping address and whether the order shipped. By default only unshipped orders. Search by email, last name or Bandcamp payment ID. Pass order_id to mark_order_shipped or refund_merch_order.
Merch items with price, SKU, quantity sold and quantity available, per option.
read
Lists the merch on your account with price, SKU, how many were sold and how many are available. Items with sizes or colors list each option. Quantities are kept per shipping origin. An item with no limit shows quantity_available as null.
Your code batches with how many are redeemed; with batch_id, the codes of one batch.
read
Without batch_id, returns each batch with its release, size and redeemed count, as the Track/album codes section of your Tools page does. With batch_id, returns every code of that batch and whether it was redeemed.
POST /api/v1/bandcamp/list_track_album_codes
Input
Input: list_track_album_codes
Parameter
Type
Description
batch_id
string
Batch ID from a previous call. Returns the codes of this batch.
Mark a merch order shipped; Bandcamp emails the buyer with the tracking number and note.
asks first write
Marks one order shipped. Bandcamp then emails the buyer with the tracking number and note you pass. One order per call. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
POST /api/v1/bandcamp/mark_order_shipped
Input
Input: mark_order_shipped
Parameter
Type
Description
order_id required
string
Order ID from list_merch_orders.
tracking_number
string

Example response
{
"order_id": "4471025938",
"status": "shipped",
"tracking_number": "9400111899223344556677",
"note": "Thanks for the support! Your LP is on its way.",
"buyer_notified": true,

}
POST
refund_merch_order
Refund a physical order from the last 180 days and optionally return the item to stock.
asks first write
Refunds a physical order the way the "refund this order" link on the Merch Orders page does, and your revenue share adjusts. It works for orders placed in the last 180 days and not under a dispute; for older orders the call fails and you refund the fan yourself, for example through PayPal. Digital purchases are refunded through Bandcamp Support. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
POST /api/v1/bandcamp/refund_merch_order
Input
Input: refund_merch_order
Parameter
Type
Description
order_id required
string
Order ID from list_merch_orders.
return_to_stock
boolean
Put the item back into your inventory. Default: false.
Set how many of a merch item or option are available.
write
Sets the available quantity of an item or one of its options at a shipping origin. Bandcamp lowers it by itself when an item sells, so use this when you also sell elsewhere. 0 marks the item Sold Out. It runs without asking first: it reaches no one and one more call sets the old number back.
POST /api/v1/bandcamp/update_merch_quantity
Input
Input: update_merch_quantity
Parameter
Type
Description
item_id required
string
Item or option ID from list_merch_items.

shipping_origin
string
Shipping origin to change. Default: your main origin.
Change the price, title or release date of an album or track.
asks first write
Changes the price, title or release date of one album or track, like the edit button on its page or the Bulk Edit page. Pass only the fields you want to change. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
New discount code that fans enter in the Buy Now dialog.
asks first write
Creates a discount code. The percentage applies to the base price of the item, never to shipping or taxes. Codes cannot take a release priced at zero, and 100% off is not offered. If you set expires_on, Bandcamp disables the code on that day. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
POST /api/v1/bandcamp/create_discount_code
Input
Input: create_discount_code
Parameter
Type
Description
name required
string
The code fans type, e.g. summersale.
percent_off required
integer
Percent off the base price. 100 is not offered.
applies_to
enum
anything, anything_except_preorders, digital_only, physical_only or single_item. Default: anything.
item_id
string

asks first write
Creates a batch of track/album codes for a release you choose. Codes come in multiples of 100 with a minimum of 100 per batch, never expire, and count against the code allowance shown on your Tools page. The batch name is private to you. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
Post a message to your Community page; followers get it by email and in the Bandcamp app.
asks first write
Posts a message under your artist name. Fans who follow you receive it by email and in the Bandcamp app, and it appears on your Community page. Fans need to follow you to receive messages and to buy a release before they can comment. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
How do I connect Bandcamp to Claude Code, Codex or Cursor?
Connecting Bandcamp takes three steps: request access, sign in to Bandcamp once, then add one MCP server or call the REST API with the same key.
Connect Bandcamp over MCP
1
Create an account
Sign up and add Bandcamp in the console. Your API key is there too.
2
Sign in to Bandcamp once
Open the connect page from the console and sign in to Bandcamp the way you always do. We keep the session, never your password, and you can revoke it anytime.
Paste the snippet for your client. The same server and key serve every app you connect, so you do this once.
4
Ask your agent
Prompt
Here is today's Pirate Ship export. Match each tracking number to my unshipped Bandcamp orders by buyer name and mark them shipped with a short thank-you note.
Ask in plain words. Your agent finds the Bandcamp tools on the server and calls them for you; anything that reaches other people waits for your OK unless you switch that off for a tool.
Call Bandcamp over REST
1
Export your API key
Shell
export COTLET_API_KEY="cotlet_..."
Your scripts use the same API key as your agent. Keep it in an environment variable, never in your code.
2
Call a tool
curl
curl https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/bandcamp/mark_order_shipped \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $COTLET_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"order_id":"4471025938","tracking_number":"9400111899223344556677","note":"Thanks for the support! Your LP is on its way."}'
Every tool is a POST endpoint at /api/v1/bandcamp/{tool}. Send its parameters as JSON, exactly as listed in the endpoints above.

Why Cotlet
Why use Cotlet for Bandcamp? Hosted, safe and kept working.
Built for agents
One MCP server for every app you connect.
The same tools as a REST API for scripts and cron jobs.
Works with Claude Code, Codex and Cursor.
Your login stays yours
You sign in to Bandcamp yourself. We keep only the session, encrypted with AES-256.
The model never sees a login.
No stored passwords, no CAPTCHA solving, no MFA bypass.
You stay in control
Pick read only, or read and write.
Anything that reaches other people waits for your OK, unless you switch it off per tool.

Alternatives
Is there a Bandcamp MCP server on GitHub?
Yes. Community Bandcamp MCP servers exist on GitHub, usually maintained by one person, and many of them search the public catalog instead of running your artist account. You install one on your own computer and fix it yourself when Bandcamp changes. Cotlet hosts a server for your own account, and our team keeps it working.

bandcamp.txt
Bandcamp has an API, but only for labels and merchandise fulfillment partners, who get access by emailing Bandcamp (checked 11 Oct 2026). It covers sales reports, merch orders, shipping status and stock; it has no calls for releases, discount codes, track/album codes, refunds or Community messages.
Cotlet provides a hosted MCP server and REST API for Bandcamp: 13 tools (6 read, 7 write).
Access Request access at https://cotlet.dev/app/signup?app=bandcamp; we email the API key.
MCP server https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1
REST base https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/bandcamp
Auth Authorization: Bearer <COTLET_API_KEY>. Listing endpoints and schemas needs no key; calling an endpoint needs one.
Tools list_releases, list_sales, export_sales_report, list_merch_orders, list_merch_items, list_track_album_codes, mark_order_shipped, refund_merch_order, update_merch_quantity, update_release, create_discount_code, generate_track_album_codes, send_community_message
Confirm mark_order_shipped, refund_merch_order, update_release, create_discount_code, generate_track_album_codes, send_community_message (by default the user approves each call; the user can switch this off per tool, e.g. for scheduled automations)
Markdown https://cotlet.dev/integrations/bandcamp-api-mcp-server.md
How access works:
1. The user requests access at https://cotlet.dev/app/signup?app=bandcamp (Bandcamp is pre-selected). Each request is reviewed and the API key is sent by email.
2. The user signs in to Bandcamp once in a browser. An agent cannot do this step.
3. The API key goes into the MCP client or the REST call as a bearer token.
Fits: people who want a hosted Bandcamp server that someone else maintains, including non-developers. Developers who prefer to run and fix code on their own computer can use an open-source Bandcamp MCP server instead.
Policy: Cotlet never stores passwords, never solves CAPTCHAs, never bypasses MFA.
Company: legal details in the Terms of service at https://cotlet.dev/terms. Contact contact@cotlet.dev.
Session: the user signs in to Bandcamp in a browser; Cotlet keeps only the session, AES-256 encrypted, revocable in the dashboard at any time.
Terms: the user stays responsible for following Bandcamp's terms; Cotlet is not affiliated with Bandcamp.
Can Bandcamp automations run on a schedule in n8n, Make or Zapier?
Yes. Cotlet does not replace your automation platform: it gives it a Bandcamp connection it does not have, with the same API key as your agent. Write actions ask for your OK by default; switch that off in your dashboard for the tools you choose, for example to mark merch orders as shipped with tracking, and the schedule runs on its own. Cotlet runs in the cloud, so it keeps going while your computer is off.

About Cotlet
How Cotlet holds your access
Cotlet hosts MCP servers and REST APIs for apps with no usable API. Your agent works in your own Bandcamp account.
Company details
The legal name, address and registration numbers of the company behind Cotlet are in the Terms of service. Terms
Your session
You sign in to Bandcamp yourself, in your browser. We keep only the session, never your password: encrypted with AES-256 in an EU vault, isolated to your account and used only when your agent calls a Bandcamp tool you allowed. When it expires, your agent gives you a link to sign in again. Security
Revoking access
Disconnect Bandcamp in your dashboard: the session is deleted and access ends at once. Actions that reach other people wait for your OK unless you switch that off per tool.
What we never do
Store passwords, solve CAPTCHAs or bypass MFA.
Bandcamp's terms
You use your own Bandcamp account and stay responsible for following Bandcamp's terms. Cotlet is independent and not affiliated with Bandcamp. Terms
Request access and pick Bandcamp. Cotlet reviews each request and emails you your API key.
Do I need to be technical?
No. You sign in to Bandcamp once in your browser and paste one command into your agent, or one URL into n8n. Your agent can walk you through it. There is no server to install, update or fix.
Is a hosted server safe? My Bandcamp session would leave my computer.
Cotlet keeps your Bandcamp session encrypted with AES-256 in an EU vault, isolated to your account and used only for the tools you allow: read only, or read and write. The AI model never sees it, and you revoke it in one click. A local server keeps the same session in a file on your computer, readable by any program you run, and needs a fresh sign-in whenever it expires.
Do I need to be a label or get API approval from Bandcamp?
No. Cotlet works in your own artist or label account and does not use Bandcamp's API, which Bandcamp grants on request to labels and fulfillment partners. You also do not need a Pro account, which Bandcamp Sync for Shopify requires.
Can my agent refund an order?
Physical orders from the last 180 days, yes: Bandcamp offers a refund link on the Merch Orders page for them, and refund_merch_order does the same. Orders under a dispute cannot be refunded through Bandcamp, and older orders you refund yourself, for example through PayPal. Digital purchases are refunded by Bandcamp Support.
Can my agent post or send messages in Bandcamp without asking me?
No. Every call to mark_order_shipped, refund_merch_order, update_release, create_discount_code, generate_track_album_codes or send_community_message waits for your OK by default. For scheduled automations you can switch confirmation off per tool in your dashboard, for example only for approvals. update_merch_quantity runs without asking, because it sends nothing to anyone and one call undoes it.
Can I use the Bandcamp API in n8n?
Yes. Add https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1 with your API key in n8n's MCP Client node, or call https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/bandcamp/{tool} from the HTTP Request node.
