Available tools 14

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

newsletter
get_newsletter
The p0dcasters weekly email: when it goes out (Fridays 15:00 UTC unless reconfigured), the next send time, and the latest issue sent (week, subject, how many it went to). Read-only; subscribing is a setting on a signed-in account, not something this server does.
newsletter_preview
This week's issue of the weekly digest as it would be built now from the live directory: subject, plain text and, with html: true, the HTML. Shows new to the directory, the most followed this week, long-running shows that published, the busiest networks. Read-only, no recipients; the per-reader unsubscribe link is a placeholder. Rebuilt at most every 15 minutes.
openprofile
get_openprofile
The person or organisation behind a show as an OpenProfile.md (logicsrc.com/openprofile) with the Broadcast section (logicsrc.com/openbroadcast): name, kind, site, avatar, accounts, topics, and the show's feed, cadence, language and since when. Generated from the feed the publisher serves, enriched from rssamplifier.com, corrected by the person once they have claimed it. Returns the Markdown and the URL the file is served at. A booking platform matches a Broadcast section against a guest's Guest section.
update_openprofile
Edit the profile on its owner's behalf. Takes either the whole OpenProfile.md as `markdown`, or a partial overlay: `identity` (keys to set, null removes), `headline`, `sections` (body by section name, `none` removes), `public`. The server keeps the difference from the generated document, so a section left alone keeps following the feed. Needs an OpenAccess bearer (hub https://openaccess.logicsrc.com, scope openprofile:edit) in the request's Authorization header, for a profile the person has claimed; an unclaimed profile is refused with the claim step.
accept
accept_submissions
List every submission waiting for review at once, or only the given ids (from list_submissions). A feed already in the directory comes back as existing; one failure does not stop the rest. Returns counts listed / existing / failed and a result per id. Needs an OpenAccess bearer with scope submissions:review.
browse
browse
Every category and every language in the directory with its show count and page URL. The cheap first call before list_shows.
claim
claim_openprofile
Claim the profile behind a show as the person it is about. Needs an OpenAccess bearer with scopes openprofile:edit and email in the Authorization header; the claim goes through when the token's address is the feed's itunes:owner address, or when the show's site or feed description links to the profile URL. Nothing else is needed, and nobody reviews it.
directory
directory_stats
Shows, domains, episodes, how many published this week, how many were added by their publishers, and the OPML export URL for taking the whole thing in one request.
episodes
list_episodes
The episodes of one show, newest first, read live from the publisher's feed (cached half an hour): title, date, duration, description, audio URL. Feeds are slow, so this is the one call here that can take seconds. Also returns an M3U playlist URL for a player that takes one.
podcast
get_podcast
One show by slug: title, publisher, full description, episode count, cadence, language, categories, feed URL, site and page. Slugs come from search, list_shows and the page URL /podcast/<slug>. Episodes are a separate call, list_episodes, because they are read live from the publisher's feed.
search
search
Full-text search over the titles, descriptions, authors and domains of every podcast listed, on any host (own domain, hosting platform or network library). Returns shows, each with its slug, feed URL, page and playlist. Only shows with an episode inside the last 90 days are listed.
shows
list_shows
Shows in one category (a single lowercase word such as history or comedy), one language (ISO 639-1 code) or on one domain, ranked by catalogue depth and longevity weighted by recency, the same order as the site's pages. Call browse first for the categories and languages that exist and how many shows each holds.
submissions
list_submissions
The submitted feeds waiting for a person to list or reject them. For reviewers: needs an OpenAccess bearer with scope submissions:review in the Authorization header.
submit
submit_feed
Submit one URL or a list of them to p0dcasters. A site URL works as well as a feed URL: the feed is discovered from the page. Anyone may submit; there is no account and no review queue. One URL resolves in the call and the answer carries its page; a list may be queued, and the answer says which. Rate limited per caller.

p0dcasters — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can p0dcasters do?
It exposes 14 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: accept_submissions, browse, claim_openprofile, directory_stats, get_newsletter, get_openprofile and 8 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
What is p0dcasters mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around newsletter and openprofile. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.
Is p0dcasters working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 12 of 13 checks got a reply (92.3%), average response time 395 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect p0dcasters?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does p0dcasters need an API key?
No. p0dcasters completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 14 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is p0dcasters?
It answers our handshake in 395 ms on average, which is faster than 34% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
