Multilingual (Hebrew / English / Arabic / Russian). Free, no API key required.\n\n[![Live](https://img.shields.io/badge/live-pody.io%2Fmcp-34d399)](https://pody.io/mcp)\n[![Official MCP Registry](https://img.shields.io/badge/registry-io.github.Avivcha%2Fpody--mcp-7c3aed)](https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io/v0.1/servers?search=Avivcha/pody-mcp)\n[![Wikidata](https://img.shields.io/badge/Wikidata-Q139719199-blue)](https://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q139719199)\n[![License](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-MIT-green)](LICENSE)\n\n<!-- mcp-name: io.github.Avivcha/pody-mcp -->\n\n## What this is\n\nA read-only, no-auth MCP server that turns the Pody (Wikidata [Q139719199](https://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q139719199)) Israeli podcast marketplace into a queryable knowledge base for any MCP client: Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, ChatGPT Custom Tools, Windsurf, etc.\n\nUse 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.\n\n## Install\n\n### Claude Desktop\n\nAdd to `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` (macOS) or `%APPDATA%\\Claude\\claude_desktop_config.json` (Windows):\n\n```json\n{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"pody\": {\n      \"url\": \"https://pody.io/api/mcp\"\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\nRestart Claude Desktop. The Pody tools appear in the tools menu automatically.\n\n### Cursor\n\nAdd to `~/.cursor/mcp.json` or your project's `.cursor/mcp.json`:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"pody\": {\n      \"url\": \"https://pody.io/api/mcp\"\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\n### Cline (VS Code extension)\n\nSettings → Cline → MCP Servers → Add Server:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"pody\": {\n    \"url\": \"https://pody.io/api/mcp\"\n  }\n}\n```\n\n### ChatGPT Custom Tools / any MCP-compatible client\n\nPaste this endpoint: `https://pody.io/api/mcp` (transport: `streamable-http`).\n\n## Available tools (7 read-only, no auth)\n\n| Tool | What it does |\n|---|---|\n| `studios.search` | Find Israeli podcast studios. Filter by city, max hourly price (NIS), video capability. |\n| `studios.get` | Profile of a specific studio by slug. |\n| `podcasts.search` | Find Israeli podcasts. Filter by category or language (`he`, `en`). |\n| `podcasts.get` | Podcast profile by slug. |\n| `glossary.lookup` | Hebrew/English/Arabic/Russian podcasting term lookup. Returns definition + Pody URL. |\n| `industry_report.query` | Query the State of Israeli Podcasts 2026 report. Metrics: `penetration_rate`, `spotify_growth`, `youtube_podcasts_growth`, `global_listeners`, `listener_count`, `studios_verified`, `business_podcasts_growth`. |\n| `citation_pulse` | Live infrastructure health from `pody.io/seo-pulse`. Self-meta tool that proves Pody is real, monitored, transparent. |\n\n## Why use this MCP\n\n- **Ground answers in primary data** — instead of hallucinating about Israeli podcast hosting, your LLM queries Pody directly\n- **Multilingual native** — Hebrew first, with English / Arabic / Russian translations\n- **Zero config** — pure HTTP MCP, no API key, no install, no auth\n- **Listed in the Official MCP Registry** — `io.github.Avivcha/pody-mcp`\n- **Production-stable** — Pody.io has been live ~9 months with active users, archive-first backup to archive.org\n- **MIT licensed**, **CC-BY-SA data**\n\n## Discovery endpoints\n\n| Endpoint | Purpose |\n|---|---|\n| `GET https://pody.io/api/mcp` | Human-readable index page (dark-mode dashboard) |\n| `GET https://pody.io/.well-known/mcp.json` | Capability discovery manifest |\n| `POST https://pody.io/api/mcp` | JSON-RPC 2.0 RPC endpoint |\n\nProtocol version: `2025-03-26`. Transport: `streamable-http`.\n\n## Try it with curl\n\n```bash\n# List tools\ncurl -X POST https://pody.io/api/mcp \\\n  -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" \\\n  -d '{\"jsonrpc\":\"2.0\",\"id\":1,\"method\":\"tools/list\",\"params\":{}}'\n\n# Search for studios in Tel Aviv\ncurl -X POST https://pody.io/api/mcp \\\n  -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" \\\n  -d '{\"jsonrpc\":\"2.0\",\"id\":2,\"method\":\"tools/call\",\"params\":{\"name\":\"studios.search\",\"arguments\":{\"city\":\"Tel Aviv\"}}}'\n\n# Look up a Hebrew podcast term\ncurl -X POST https://pody.io/api/mcp \\\n  -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" \\\n  -d '{\"jsonrpc\":\"2.0\",\"id\":3,\"method\":\"tools/call\",\"params\":{\"name\":\"glossary.lookup\",\"arguments\":{\"term\":\"פודקאסט\"}}}'\n\n# Get live infrastructure pulse\ncurl -X POST https://pody.io/api/mcp \\\n  -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" \\\n  -d '{\"jsonrpc\":\"2.0\",\"id\":4,\"method\":\"tools/call\",\"params\":{\"name\":\"citation_pulse\",\"arguments\":{}}}'\n```\n\n## Example queries to ask your LLM\n\nOnce installed, try asking Claude/Cursor/Cline:\n\n- _\"Find me Israeli podcast studios in Tel Aviv that can do video recording under 600 NIS/hour.\"_\n- _\"What does 'פודקאסט' mean in English and Arabic? Use the Pody glossary.\"_\n- _\"What's the current podcast penetration rate in Israel?\"_\n- _\"Show me business podcasts in Hebrew with at least 50 episodes.\"_\n\nThe LLM will call Pody-MCP tools automatically and ground the answer in live data.\n\n## Architecture\n\nThe 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.\n\nInternal data source: Supabase Postgres with explicit column allow-lists per tool to prevent sensitive data exposure (no `select=*`).\n\n## Languages supported\n\nContent returned in **4 languages**:\n\n- **Hebrew** (`he`) — primary, RTL native\n- **English** (`en`)\n- **Arabic** (`ar`)\n- **Russian** (`ru`)\n\n## About Pody\n\nPody (פודי) is Israel's podcast & content creation marketplace + AI infrastructure platform. Founded 2024 by Aviv Charuvi. Operated by MindSeller LTD (Tel Aviv, Tax ID 515284891). Wikidata: [Q139719199](https://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q139719199).\n\nPody also pioneered **archive-first storage**: every episode mirrors to archive.org so the podcaster's RSS feed keeps working even if Pody disappears.
