Apple Podcasts MCP server and CLI for Claude Code, Codex and AI agents. 32 tools for podcast search, chart rank tracking, listener reviews, RSS feed parsing and validation, on-device transcript search, and Apple Podcasts Connect analytics.

One install gives you both surfaces, the same 32 tools under the same names, reading one array of tool definitions so they cannot drift apart.

It searches Apple's catalogue and checks where a show ranks in each country.

It reads listener reviews and parses any podcast's RSS feed.

If you own a show, it pulls your listening numbers too.

Nothing here needs an account, except the owner analytics.

There are 32 tools, and only the five that read your own show's analytics need an account of any kind.
