Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP server giving assistants access to Rephonic's podcast database: search shows and episodes, read transcripts, audience data, contacts, charts and ads.

What you can do
Search and discover podcasts and episodes, with autocomplete and filter lists for categories, countries, languages, sponsors, professions and interests; resolve a show from an Apple, Spotify, YouTube or RSS identifier and look up its metadata and episodes. Read episode metadata and full transcripts. Retrieve audience data: listener demographics, historical metric trends, ratings and review summaries, individual reviews, and podcasts with overlapping listeners. Get hosts, guests, email contacts and social accounts with follower metrics. Check chart categories and latest Apple, Spotify and YouTube rankings, and see sponsors and cross-promotions. Check API request quota and usage.
When to use it
Useful for podcast research: finding shows by topic or audience fit, pitching guests, building media lists, analysing transcripts and demographics, tracking brand mentions or sponsorships, and following chart rankings without leaving the assistant.
Requirements
A remote endpoint reached over streamable HTTP with OAuth; a Rephonic API key is required and entered when the connector is added. Network access to the hosted server. Running a fork locally needs Node.js and, for deployment, a Cloudflare account.
Before you install
Requires a Rephonic API key, which is a paid-service credential; requests count against an API quota that can be checked with the quota tool. Contact details, emails and social accounts of hosts and guests are personal data, so handle them accordingly. All tools appear read-only, but queries and identifiers are sent to Rephonic's servers.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Rephonic in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Connect the required credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
  3. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.rephonic%2Frephonic/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config. The client completes OAuth sign-in on first connect.
