Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http podlearn https://podlearn.ai/mcp --header 'Authorization: your-value'

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "podlearn": {
      "url": "https://podlearn.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "podlearn": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://podlearn.ai/mcp",

Common questions

Is PodLearn 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?

You need to fill in: Authorization

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 (1.1.0) reached the registry 19 days 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?

🎧 PodLearn for Claude Code

Stop listening. Start learning.

The podcast & video knowledge engine, right inside Claude Code. Drop a link. Get a verbatim transcript, a searchable archive, and an AI lesson in seconds.

Some of the best thinking on the planet is locked inside hours of audio you'll never have time for. PodLearn unlocks it. Hand Claude any podcast or YouTube URL and it transcribes the whole thing (yes, even long talks with no captions), makes every word searchable, and distills the ideas into a structured lesson. No tab-switching, no copy-paste, no "I'll get to it later."

One install adds the PodLearn **skill *and* MCP server** to Claude Code. The skill handles the routing; the MCP does the work. You just talk.

✨ Why people use it

⏱️ Hours → minutes. A 2-hour interview becomes a transcript + lesson you skim in five.
🔎 Find the exact moment. Full-text search across every transcript, with citations. *"Where did they talk about pricing?"* jumps you straight there.
▶️ YouTube that actually works. Paste any video, captions or not. Conference talks, lectures, channel deep-dives, all transcribed natively.
📚 Bulk a whole season. transcribe_feed ingests an entire podcast feed in one shot, not episode-by-episode.
🧠 Lessons, not just text. Auto-generated key takeaways and structured notes you can act on.
🤖 Agent-native. It's a real MCP server, so every call composes with the rest of your Claude workflow (turn a lesson into a LinkedIn post, feed quotes into a doc, whatever).

💬 What you can ask

*"What podcasts do you have about AI agents?"*

*"Transcribe this and make me a lesson: ‹youtube or podcast URL›"*

*"Find the best quotes about pricing from ‹episode›"*

*"Transcribe the last 10 episodes of ‹podcast› and summarize the themes."*

*"Turn that lesson into a LinkedIn post."*

⚡ Install (60 seconds)

1. Have a PodLearn account (free, 2 credits to try) at [podlearn.ai](https://podlearn.ai). No token needed: you sign in once in your browser.

2. Add the marketplace — in Claude Code (run this on its own, wait for confirmation):

/plugin marketplace add blutrich/podlearn-plugin

3. Install the plugin — then run:

/plugin install podlearn@podlearn

⚠️ Run them one at a time — they're two separate slash commands. Pasting

both lines at once makes Claude treat the second as part of the first.

4. Restart Claude Code (or claude reload).

5. Sign in. Run /mcp, pick podlearn, choose Authenticate, and approve PodLearn in the browser. Approve both read and write if you want Claude to transcribe and save things for you (it still asks before spending credits). Then start asking.

That's it. The plugin ships the skill and the MCP, so there's no separate claude mcp add step and nothing to wire up by hand.

📦 What's inside


Skill (`podlearn`)	Routes your intent through the MCP tools so you never think about which one to call.
MCP server	`search_podcasts` · `search_youtube` · `search_episodes` · `list_feed_episodes` · `transcribe_url` · `transcribe_feed` (bulk/season) · `get_transcription` · `search_transcription` · `generate_lesson` · `generate_linkedin_post` · and more.

🔌 Just the MCP server (without the plugin)

The plugin already bundles the server, so most people don't need this. But if you want the MCP on its own — in Claude Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT, or any other MCP client, or in Claude Code without the skill — add it directly.

Claude app (web, desktop, mobile): Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste https://podlearn.ai/mcp → Connect, and sign in.

Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http podlearn https://podlearn.ai/mcp

Then /mcp → podlearn → Authenticate.

Codex:

codex mcp add podlearn --url https://podlearn.ai/mcp

codex mcp login podlearn --scopes mcp:read,mcp:write

Any MCP client — point it at the Streamable HTTP endpoint and sign in with OAuth:

Field	Value
Transport	Streamable HTTP (`http`)
URL	`https://podlearn.ai/mcp`
Auth	OAuth (sign in with your PodLearn account)

Headless client that can't open a browser? Create a personal token in Settings → API Tokens and send it as the Authorization: Bearer … header. Never put it in the URL: tokens in the query string are ignored, and calls will hang waiting for a sign-in. Full setup guide: podlearn.ai/mcp-docs.

🔄 Manage

/plugin marketplace update podlearn      # pull the latest

/plugin uninstall podlearn@podlearn # remove the plugin /plugin marketplace remove podlearn # remove the marketplace

🔐 Notes

Your account, your permissions. The MCP signs in with OAuth; you choose read-only or read + write in the browser. Auth error or "insufficient scope"? Run /mcp → podlearn → re-authenticate. To get write access after a read-only sign-in, remove and re-add the server first.
Upgrading from 1.0.x? The old token prompt is gone. Update the marketplace, reinstall, restart, then sign in with /mcp. You can revoke the old pl_mcp_… token in Settings → API Tokens.
Transparent pricing. Reading and searching transcripts already in your library is free. Paid actions (transcribe_url, transcribe_feed, generate_lesson) spend PodLearn credits, and the skill confirms the cost before charging. Start with 2 free credits; top up or subscribe at podlearn.ai.

🌐 Also available

PodLearn runs as a web app at [podlearn.ai](https://podlearn.ai) and as an MCP server for Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client. This plugin is the fastest way to use it from Claude Code.
