Common questions

Is Pody MCP safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.0) reached the registry 5 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

Pody MCP — Israeli Podcast & Content Marketplace

Public Model Context Protocol server exposing live data on the Israeli podcast vertical — studios, podcasts, glossary, and the State of Israeli Podcasts 2026 industry report. Multilingual (Hebrew / English / Arabic / Russian). Free, no API key required.

What this is

A read-only, no-auth MCP server that turns the Pody (Wikidata Q139719199) Israeli podcast marketplace into a queryable knowledge base for any MCP client: Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, ChatGPT Custom Tools, Windsurf, etc.

Use it to ground LLM answers in primary-source data about Israeli podcasting — instead of hoping the model has the right facts in its training corpus.

Install

Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

"mcpServers": { "pody": { "url": "https://pody.io/api/mcp" } } }

Restart Claude Desktop. The Pody tools appear in the tools menu automatically.

Cursor

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json or your project's .cursor/mcp.json:

"mcpServers": { "pody": { "url": "https://pody.io/api/mcp" } } }

Cline (VS Code extension)

Settings → Cline → MCP Servers → Add Server:

"pody": { "url": "https://pody.io/api/mcp" } }

ChatGPT Custom Tools / any MCP-compatible client

Paste this endpoint: https://pody.io/api/mcp (transport: streamable-http).

Available tools (7 read-only, no auth)

Tool	What it does
`studios.search`	Find Israeli podcast studios. Filter by city, max hourly price (NIS), video capability.
`studios.get`	Profile of a specific studio by slug.
`podcasts.search`	Find Israeli podcasts. Filter by category or language (`he`, `en`).
`podcasts.get`	Podcast profile by slug.

`citation_pulse`	Live infrastructure health from `pody.io/seo-pulse`. Self-meta tool that proves Pody is real, monitored, transparent.

Why use this MCP

Ground answers in primary data — instead of hallucinating about Israeli podcast hosting, your LLM queries Pody directly

Example queries to ask your LLM

Once installed, try asking Claude/Cursor/Cline:

_"Find me Israeli podcast studios in Tel Aviv that can do video recording under 600 NIS/hour."_
_"What does 'פודקאסט' mean in English and Arabic? Use the Pody glossary."_
_"What's the current podcast penetration rate in Israel?"_
_"Show me business podcasts in Hebrew with at least 50 episodes."_

The LLM will call Pody-MCP tools automatically and ground the answer in live data.

Architecture

The Pody-MCP server runs as a Vercel edge function at api/mcp.ts in the main Pody repo (private). This repository contains the public manifest + server.json + documentation.

Internal data source: Supabase Postgres with explicit column allow-lists per tool to prevent sensitive data exposure (no select=*).
