What your AI can do with Podcasts
Real prompts you can type the moment it's connected — no setup, no docs to read.
“Use “search_episodes”: Search indexed podcast episodes by keyword or show name and return the show/episode GUIDs needed for transcript retrieval.”
“Use “get_latest_episodes”: Return the most recent transcript-ready episodes across the full podcast catalog.”
“Use “search_episodes_by_topic”: Semantic topic search across the podcast catalog. Unlike `search_episodes` (which does lexical/keyword matching), this tool understands mean.”
“Use “get_transcript”: Fetch a bounded transcript chunk for a specific episode using its show and episode GUIDs. Use `next_cursor` to continue reading.”
How secure is the Podcasts MCP server?
Every server in the gate directory has to pass the same four checks before your AI can touch it. Here's how Podcasts holds up.
Official endpoint
Operated by Podcasts (petabloom.com) at its documented MCP endpoint — not a third-party mirror or community re-host.
No sign-in needed
This server only exposes public data — no account and no credentials are involved when you connect.
Scanned before it goes live
gate checks every tool for prompt injection, hidden instructions, data-exfiltration hints, and over-broad permissions before the server is available through your gateway.
Watched for drift
If Podcasts adds or changes tools later, gate re-scans and alerts you — before your AI acts on the change.

Who runs the Podcasts MCP server?
The Podcasts MCP server at a glance
https://podcasts.petabloom.com/mcpQuestions, answered
Is there an official Podcasts MCP server?
Yes — Podcasts operates its own remote MCP server at podcasts.petabloom.com. gate connects you to that official endpoint and adds security scanning, per-tool access rules, and an activity log on top.
How do I connect Podcasts to Claude or ChatGPT?
Add gate's gateway URL to your AI client once, then pick Podcasts in the directory. No account or sign-in is needed. From then on, Podcasts's tools are available in every client you've connected to gate.
Do I need to host anything?
No. Podcasts runs the server, and gate is fully managed. You just connect one URL — there's nothing to install, deploy, or maintain.
Is the Podcasts MCP server safe to connect?
It's the vendor's official endpoint, and gate scans its tools for prompt injection and hidden instructions before it goes live, re-checks it whenever it changes, and lets you allow, block, or require approval for every single tool.
Is it free?
Yes — you can get started with gate for free and connect Podcasts in minutes. No credit card required.
