Claude app: Connector URL
https://podcaststotext.com/api/mcp

Claude on the web, desktop or mobile: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector. Paste this URL, choose "Sign in now" and "Register automatically", then approve access on podcaststotext.com. No API key.

ChatGPT connector URL
https://podcaststotext.com/api/mcp/chatgpt

A second endpoint with only search and fetch, because that is all ChatGPT research mode calls. fetch returns transcripts in full. Add it as a connector and sign in when ChatGPT asks; no API key.

No API key. You sign in on podcaststotext.com and choose what the app may do, and can disconnect it any time from Connected apps.

Setup

  1. Add the server to your client

    In the Claude app or ChatGPT, paste the URL as a custom connector. Other clients take one command or config block from the picker above.

  2. Sign in, or use a key

    A connector sends you to podcaststotext.com to approve access, with no key to copy. Other clients use an API key from your dashboard.

  3. Ask for an episode

    In plain language. The assistant finds the feed, starts the job, polls it, and works from the text.

Tools

Every tool returns a next step alongside its result, so the model is told what to call next instead of guessing.

FAQ

Questions about the MCP server

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets an AI assistant call external tools. Connecting this server means your assistant can fetch a podcast transcript and keep working with it in the same conversation, instead of you transcribing it somewhere else and pasting the result in.

Full reference: the MCP server and client configs, and tools, scopes and connectors.

Connect your assistant.

Paste the URL into Claude, or one config block into any other client, and ask for an episode. The API and the MCP server are on Creator, Pro, Studio and Podmaxxing.
