Is the music returned by the Jamendo API free to use?

All tracks are released under Creative Commons licences, which permit free use under the licence terms (typically attribution and sometimes non-commercial or share-alike). For broader commercial use Jamendo offers a separate licensing service; check the licence field on each track before redistribution.

What are the rate limits for the Jamendo API?

The specification declares no rate limit, quota or throttling response, so no numerical figure is stated here. What it does declare is paging: the limit parameter on the catalogue endpoints defaults to 10 results and caps at 200, with offset to walk the rest, so plan bulk catalogue reads as paged requests and cache what you keep.

Can I find tracks similar to a given track with the Jamendo API?

Yes. GET /tracks/similar accepts a track id and returns acoustically related tracks. Use it to build a 'You might like' rail or to seed an automated playlist generator.

How do I search for music through Jentic?

Search Jentic for 'find creative commons track', load the GET /tracks schema, and execute with the search filters the spec declares, such as tags, fuzzytags, acousticelectric, vocalinstrumental and speed. Jentic appends the client_id query parameter so the agent only supplies the search criteria.

How do I play a Jamendo radio station?

Call GET /radios to list stations, then GET /radios/stream with a station id. That returns a track list rather than a single stream URL, and each track carries an audio field described in the spec as the streaming audio URL, which is what you hand to a media player for background playback.

Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for the Jamendo API?

Jamendo documents its v3.0 API as HTML reference pages on its developer site and publishes no machine-readable description: that docs page carries no OpenAPI, Swagger or YAML link, and every path probed on api.jamendo.com answers with a catch-all JSON error rather than a spec document. Jentic wrote the OpenAPI description from those docs and keeps it validated, so your agent gets typed input schemas for all 17 endpoints instead of scraping prose.

Is there a Jamendo MCP server?

You do not need an MCP server to give your agent Jamendo. Jentic connects it directly from the API Directory: import Jamendo, store your client_id once, and your agent calls the 17 endpoints in the spec. Because Jentic One is self-hosted, the credential stays in your own instance and is injected at call time instead of sitting in an agent client's config file, and no extra server's tool definitions are loaded into the agent's context.

Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Jamendo API?

Yes. Because Jentic One is self-hosted, you decide which Jamendo operations your agent may call, and your own rules define the allowed set. You can grant only the read operations a task needs, such as GET /tracks to search the Creative Commons catalogue or GET /tracks/similar for recommendations, while withholding others like /radios or /playlists. Your stored client_id and OAuth token are injected at execution time, so the agent stays scoped to the music search and playback operations you permit.
