# PICA — the creative computer

> music catalog management platform for creators and publishers.
> ai-native: the ai is the interface, the dashboard is the receipt.

## what is pica?

pica helps music creators and publishers manage their catalog — works, recordings,
credits, agreements, royalties, and registrations. everything from writing a song
to registering it with collection societies to tracking what it earns.

pica is built for ai agents. the primary interface is mcp (model context protocol),
not a traditional dashboard. creators connect their ai assistant, and it handles
catalog management conversationally.

## connect your ai
