Questions

Pody MCP — Israeli Podcast & Content Marketplace

Public Model Context Protocol server exposing live data on the Israeli podcast vertical — studios, podcasts, glossary, and the State of Israeli Podcasts 2026 industry report. Multilingual (Hebrew / English / Arabic / Russian). Free, no API key required.

What this is

A read-only, no-auth MCP server that turns the Pody (Wikidata Q139719199) Israeli podcast marketplace into a queryable knowledge base for any MCP client: Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, ChatGPT Custom Tools, Windsurf, etc.

Use 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.

Install

Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pody": {
      "url": "https://pody.io/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. The Pody tools appear in the tools menu automatically.

Cursor

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json or your project's .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pody": {
      "url": "https://pody.io/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cline (VS Code extension)

Settings → Cline → MCP Servers → Add Server:

{
  "pody": {
    "url": "https://pody.io/api/mcp"
  }
}

Example queries to ask your LLM

Once installed, try asking Claude/Cursor/Cline:

"Find me Israeli podcast studios in Tel Aviv that can do video recording under 600 NIS/hour."
"What does 'פודקאסט' mean in English and Arabic? Use the Pody glossary."
"What's the current podcast penetration rate in Israel?"
"Show me business podcasts in Hebrew with at least 50 episodes."

The LLM will call Pody-MCP tools automatically and ground the answer in live data.

Architecture

The 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.

Internal data source: Supabase Postgres with explicit column allow-lists per tool to prevent sensitive data exposure (no select=*).
