Music rights for AI: track identification by fingerprint, rights manifests, artist verification.
NormalDance Protocol (NDP) — open music rights & royalties protocol. This MCP server gives AI agents 21 tools to verify artists, identify tracks by perceptual fingerprint (ADNA), read rights manifests (NDT), register works and audit the registry.
Audio file becomes a self-contained rights object: the manifest travels inside the file, the fingerprint survives re-encoding and remixes, and royalties cascade down the derivation chain (sample → track → remix, up to 10 levels).

Verdict thresholds: ≥0.90 same track · 0.75–0.90 derivative (genre-adjusted) · <0.75 unrelated.
