Apple Podcasts MCP Server

Overview

Apple Podcasts MCP Server provides read-only access to your Apple Podcasts Connect analytics through a Model Context Protocol interface. Retrieve key metrics like plays, followers, and episode data directly within your AI assistant, turning podcast performance insights into actionable intelligence for your content strategy.

The server runs locally via the npm package @conorbronsdon/apple-podcasts-mcp and communicates over stdio. Set up requires two environment variables: APPLE_PODCASTS_ACCESS_TOKEN and APPLE_PODCASTS_VENDOR_ID. Version 0.2.0 is available now under the Apache-2.0 license, with source code hosted at conorbronsdon/apple-podcasts-mcp on GitHub.

This Marketing-category server integrates with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, and other MCP clients. If you maintain this project, claim your listing here to verify ownership and keep information up to date.
