Podcast Index MCP

The open podcast directory for Claude, Cursor, and any other AI agent.

It searches four million podcasts, and then it does the thing the API stops short of: it opens the transcript. Podcast Index hands out a link to an episode's transcript file and goes no further, which is useless to an assistant that cannot click. This fetches the file, works out whether it is SRT, WebVTT, JSON or HTML, and gives you the actual words with timestamps and speakers.

So you can ask when something was said, and get an answer.

There are 36 tools. One free key covers all but two of them.

You: on that Lex Fridman episode with Carmack, when do they get into VR latency?

Claude: Found it. Episode 309, transcript is a 3-hour VTT.

  Three places, and only one is the real discussion:

    1:47:12  Carmack  "the latency problem is not a rendering problem,
                       it is a scheduling problem", this is the one,
                       runs about 20 minutes
    0:38:40  Carmack  passing mention, comparing it to the Quest port
    2:51:03  Lex      callback in the wrap-up

  The 1:47 section is where he lays out the whole argument. Want the
  transcript from there?
