Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Podhome

Ask your AI to create an episode from an audio file, schedule it, or add chapters and guests in Podhome. It can add and read transcripts, create clips, update episode details and pull download analytics for the show or a single episode. Show admin gets done in a chat instead of episode by episode.

Questions

What can the AI do in Podhome?

It can list and read episodes, chapters, clips, people, transcripts, show details and download analytics. It can create and update episodes, chapters and clips, add people and transcripts, and schedule or publish episodes. It can also delete chapters and remove people from an episode.

Does the AI see my Podhome credentials?

No. Your Podhome show API key is encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save it, it is not shown again, not even to you. The AI only sees the results of the tools it calls.

Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?

Yes. You choose which tools are switched on, so you can start read-only. Publishing makes an episode public to listeners, and deleting a chapter cannot be undone, so those tools can require your approval before they run. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT, open Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced, turn on Developer mode and add your PipMCP link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector), Cursor and other MCP clients.

What does it cost?

PipMCP has a free plan with no credit card required. Paid plans bill per completed task. You also need your own Podhome account.

Can I connect more than one show?

Yes. Each Podhome API key belongs to one show, so you add one connection per show, each with its own key from the show's Integration settings.
