How OffStereo works

What OffStereo does

OffStereo provides music discovery, playback, narrated storytelling, sample-lineage research, and playlist workflows through MCP tools. Discovery results can include new releases, public-archive matches, and popular OffStereo shows.

The service also handles dated music requests through a combined response covering album anniversaries, artist birthdays and memorials, current releases, US chart context, and related playable stories. For sample research, it returns only documented connections that it can source and omits uncertain matches.

How it works

A request normally produces or updates a mounted playable card. make_playable creates a single-track card or starts a narrated story, while get_session refreshes an existing card during application polling. steer_session operates on the active player, preserving the current queue and playback position when those details are supplied. It can pause, resume, skip, adjust music volume, explain a song’s inclusion, append a specific next track, or open documented lineage.

Story creation uses review gates. Supplied articles, notes, set lists, and liner notes can be turned into drafts or reviewed material; approved content can then be prepared and exported. Reviews expire after 30 minutes. A finished story can be packaged as a Spotify episode handoff, although the listener must complete Spotify’s own Save to Spotify step.

Tools and capabilities

  • discover searches for genre-aware releases, archive material, or OffStereo shows. It can restrict results to music playable in ChatGPT and preserve read-only requests.
  • music_today handles one dated-music request in a combined result. It accepts either the current day or an explicit YYYY-MM-DD date.
  • create_playlist previews one playlist before approval or creates a private playlist in the active music service. Spotify or Apple Music is selected only when explicitly requested.
  • save_session saves matched music from a listening session as a private playlist and reports tracks it could not match.
  • explore_lineage researches a single song or creates a multi-song narrated lineage story.
  • create_authored_story supports article adaptation, document intake, exact set-list stories, review, revision, preparation, video export, status checks, and credits. URL-based article work uses pasted text rather than fetching the URL.
  • get_story_audio returns one public, downloadable MP3 containing the finished narration only. The recordings remain available through the story’s web page.
  • my_offstereo returns the signed-in listener’s completed, unarchived shows, while manage_owned_item archives or restores owned OffStereo stories and manages supported service playlists.

Limitations and notes

Playback cards own live progress, so assistant text should not treat transient build or recording states as final. A tool call opens a card but does not start playback. Dedicated single-track cards are intended for explicit requests; discovery and Music Today results already include playback.

Story narration exports do not include music, and music rights are not granted by the service. Video downloads require the same owner to sign in, whereas finished-story MP3 links are public and shareable because they contain narration only. Spotify episode preparation is a handoff rather than direct publication. Apple Music playlist deletion is unsupported through its public API, and Spotify playlist removal means removing it from the listener’s library rather than permanently deleting it.
