Chain of Thought podcast archive tools (4)

write = sends, deletes, buys or posts
  • get_episodeFree

    Returns one episode by number or slug (a full chainofthought.show episode URL also works): title, date, duration, guests with companies, summary, chapters with timestamps, and links to the episode page, YouTube and audio. Does not return the transcript; use search_transcripts or get_transcript_excerpt for passages. Cite the url.

  • get_transcript_excerptFree

    Returns up to 16 consecutive transcript segments from one episode around a timestamp (m:ss or h:mm:ss), a segment_index from search results, or a passage url or its #t- anchor. Defaults: 2 segments before and 5 after. Each segment has its own url to cite.

  • search_episodesFree

    Finds Chain of Thought episodes by topic, guest name, company, title or chapter title. Returns up to 20 episodes ranked by relevance with number, title, date, guests, a short summary, matching chapter titles and the episode page url to cite.

  • search_transcriptsFree

    Full-text search over Chain of Thought transcripts. Returns up to 20 passages ranked by relevance, each with episode number and title, guests, speaker, timestamp, a snippet of about 600 characters, and a url for that moment on the episode page (#t-N). Cite that url. Optional `episode` limits the search to one episode. Use get_transcript_excerpt for context. Transcripts are machine-generated; check exact quotes against the recording.

Chain of Thought podcast archive MCP server

This read-only Model Context Protocol server lets AI agents and coding assistants search the transcripts and episode metadata of Chain of Thought, the podcast hosted by Conor Bronsdon, and cite its episode pages. It needs no login or API key. It runs as a Cloudflare Worker with D1 full-text search.

Endpoint

https://mcp.chainofthought.show/mcp is live. The transport is stateless Streamable HTTP. GET / describes the server and GET /health returns ok.

Tools

How search ranks results

Transcript search uses BM25 over passages, with a boost for passages from episodes whose title, guests, chapter titles or summary match the query. Passages containing all query words come before passages containing some. Near-identical passages, such as sponsor reads repeated across episodes, collapse to one result.

A search_transcripts result has this shape (text values abbreviated):

{
  "episode": 77,
  "episode_title": "…",
  "guests": ["…"],
  "published_at": "…",
  "speaker": "…",
  "time": "…",
  "seconds": 29,
  "segment_index": 2,
  "snippet": "…",
  "match": "all_terms",
  "url": "https://chainofthought.show/podcast/…/#t-2",
  "episode_url": "https://chainofthought.show/podcast/…/",
  "cite": "Chain of Thought, chainofthought.show — https://chainofthought.show/podcast/…/#t-2"
}

Connect

These steps follow each vendor's docs as of 2026-10-14. The endpoint must be deployed before a client can connect.

Claude Code

Install in Claude Code

In a Claude Code session, add this repository as a plugin marketplace and install the plugin:

/plugin marketplace add conorbronsdon/chain-of-thought-podcast-mcp
/plugin install chain-of-thought-podcast@chain-of-thought-podcast-mcp

The plugin connects to the public remote MCP endpoint without an API key. Its optional /chain-of-thought-podcast:cite-chain-of-thought skill helps find and cite podcast discussions.

Add the MCP server directly

Run the Claude Code MCP command:

claude mcp add --transport http chain-of-thought https://mcp.chainofthought.show/mcp

This uses local scope by default. --scope project writes .mcp.json; a project entry is:

{"mcpServers":{"chain-of-thought":{"type":"http","url":"https://mcp.chainofthought.show/mcp"}}}

--scope user makes it available across projects.

Claude apps custom connector

In Claude's connector settings, open Customize > Connectors > + Add > Add custom connector. Enter chain-of-thought and https://mcp.chainofthought.show/mcp, select Continue, choose No sign in under Authentication, then select Add. Free plans are limited to one custom connector. On Team plans only Owners and Primary Owners can add connectors; on Enterprise, Owners, Primary Owners and roles with Manage access to Libraries can.
