Transistor MCP Server

An MCP server for the Transistor.fm API. Manage podcasts, episodes, analytics, transcripts, and webhooks from your AI agent.

[!IMPORTANT]

Transistor now ships an official MCP server: mcp.transistor.fm. It's remote (no install), authenticates with OAuth instead of an API key, and is maintained by the Transistor team as the basis for their upcoming API v2. For most people it's the better choice — start there.

With the official server available, this community server is no longer actively maintained. It still works, and it remains useful if you specifically want a local, API-key-based server (for example, in headless or automated environments where an OAuth browser flow is awkward). Bug-fix PRs are welcome; feature requests are better directed at the official server.

This MCP server provides tools to interact with the Transistor.fm API, allowing you to manage podcasts, episodes, and view analytics. The data shown in the demo above is sample data, not real account values.

Fork notice: The original server was built by Guido X Jansen (gxjansen/Transistor-MCP). The full-API-parity pass (all documented params, response trimming, search), the getdownloadsummary and compare_episodes analytics tools, ISO date handling, and transcript support were contributed here and have since been merged upstream. This repository is a packaged, npm-published build (transistor-mcp). The MIT license and original copyright are preserved in LICENSE.

About

Built by Conor Bronsdon for the Chain of Thought podcast production workflow, where it handled episode creation, transcript uploads, and analytics pulls before the official server shipped. Conor hosts Chain of Thought, a show about AI infrastructure and how practitioners actually build with it. More tools for creators live in ai-tools-for-creators. Find Conor on X at @ConorBronsdon.

Companion tools:

  • substack-mcp: read posts and manage Substack drafts
  • podcastindex-mcp: search the Podcast Index and track guest appearances
  • op3-mcp: report downloads, listener geography, and apps from OP3
  • apple-podcasts-mcp: pull plays, followers, and per-episode listening from Apple Podcasts Connect
  • gsc-mcp: query search performance, keywords, and sitemaps in Google Search Console
  • podcast-benchmark: benchmark a show against its peers using only public data
