This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: APPLE_PODCASTS_ACCESS_TOKEN (Reporter access token from Apple Podcasts Connect (Settings > Access Token). Expires 180 days after it is generated.), APPLE_PODCASTS_VENDOR_ID (Vendor number from Apple Podcasts Connect Settings, e.g. 87654321), APPLE_PODCASTS_ACCOUNT_ID (Apple account number. Only needed when the access token can read more than one account, which Reporter reports as error 214.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

answering

Apple Podcasts MCP Server — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Apple Podcasts MCP Server?
Apple Podcasts MCP Server runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package @conorbronsdon/apple-podcasts-mcp was installed 26 times last week.
How do I connect Apple Podcasts MCP Server?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls @conorbronsdon/apple-podcasts-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Apple Podcasts MCP Server?
The npm package @conorbronsdon/apple-podcasts-mcp was installed 26 times in the last week. Week over week that is +76%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Apple Podcasts MCP Server open source?
Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in TypeScript and 1 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
