Overview

AI-generated overview

Read-only remote MCP server exposing live data on the Israeli podcast market: studios, podcasts, a multilingual glossary and an industry report.

What you can do
  • Search and filter Israeli podcast studios by city, hourly price in NIS and video capability, and fetch a studio profile by slug
  • Search Israeli podcasts by category or language and fetch a podcast profile by slug
  • Look up podcasting terms across Hebrew, English, Arabic and Russian with definitions and source links
  • Query metrics from the State of Israeli Podcasts 2026 report, such as penetration rate and listener counts
  • Check the provider's live infrastructure health status
When to use it
Useful when an assistant needs grounded, primary-source facts about Israeli podcasting — finding a recording studio, identifying local podcasts, translating podcast terminology, or quoting industry statistics — rather than relying on model memory.
Requirements
A remote streamable-HTTP endpoint; no local install, API key or account is required. The client must support remote MCP servers over streamable HTTP.
Before you install
Read-only and no-auth, so no credentials are exposed. Results come from a single commercial provider and its own report, so figures should be treated as vendor-published rather than independent; one tool reports the provider's own health status. Queries are sent to that third-party endpoint.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Pody Mcp in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. 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/io.github.Avivcha%2Fpody-mcp/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

README

Pody MCP — Israeli Podcast & Content Marketplace

Public Model Context Protocol server exposing live data on the Israeli podcast vertical — studios, podcasts, glossary, and the State of Israeli Podcasts 2026 industry report. Multilingual (Hebrew / English / Arabic / Russian). Free, no API key required.

[Live] [Official MCP Registry] [Wikidata] [License]

What this is

A read-only, no-auth MCP server that turns the Pody (Wikidata Q139719199) Israeli podcast marketplace into a queryable knowledge base for any MCP client: Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, ChatGPT Custom Tools, Windsurf, etc.

Use it to ground LLM answers in primary-source data about Israeli podcasting — instead of hoping the model has the right facts in its training corpus.

Install

Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "pody": {      "url": "https://pody.io/api/mcp"    }  }}

Restart Claude Desktop. The Pody tools appear in the tools menu automatically.

Cursor

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json or your project's .cursor/mcp.json:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "pody": {      "url": "https://pody.io/api/mcp"    }  }}

Cline (VS Code extension)

Settings → Cline → MCP Servers → Add Server:

json
{  "pody": {    "url": "https://pody.io/api/mcp"  }}

Example queries to ask your LLM

Once installed, try asking Claude/Cursor/Cline:

  • "Find me Israeli podcast studios in Tel Aviv that can do video recording under 600 NIS/hour."
  • "What does 'פודקאסט' mean in English and Arabic? Use the Pody glossary."
  • "What's the current podcast penetration rate in Israel?"
  • "Show me business podcasts in Hebrew with at least 50 episodes."

The LLM will call Pody-MCP tools automatically and ground the answer in live data.

Architecture

The Pody-MCP server runs as a Vercel edge function at api/mcp.ts in the main Pody repo (private). This repository contains the public manifest + server.json + documentation.

Internal data source: Supabase Postgres with explicit column allow-lists per tool to prevent sensitive data exposure (no select=*).

Languages supported

Content returned in 4 languages:

  • Hebrew (he) — primary, RTL native
