Micropod × Claude

Talk to your podcasts. The official Micropod MCP for Claude.

The Micropod MCP server connects Claude to the Micropod universe: search shows, read details about podcasts and creators, build lists, follow subscriptions, catch up on new episodes, import and export OPML, and share short links — all from a conversation. No dependencies, just Node.js 18+.

Installation

Download one file, connect any Claude.

The whole server is a single JavaScript file with zero dependencies — download it from this site, then register it in Claude Code or Claude Desktop. The only requirement is Node.js 18+.

Option A · Claude Code

Two commands in your terminal.

Download the server and register it with the Claude Code CLI:

curl -o ~/micropod-mcp.js https://imprifyapp.com/micropod/micropod-mcp.js
claude mcp add micropod -- node ~/micropod-mcp.js

That’s it — the Micropod tools are available in your next Claude Code session. Use claude mcp add --scope user to enable it in every project.

Option B · Claude Desktop & other MCP clients

Add the server to your MCP configuration.

  1. Download the server with the button above, or run curl -o ~/micropod-mcp.js https://imprifyapp.com/micropod/micropod-mcp.js
  2. Register it. Add this to claude_desktop_config.json (Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config): 
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "micropod": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/Users/you/micropod-mcp.js"]
    }
  }
}
  1. Restart Claude Desktop. The Micropod tools appear automatically in the tools menu.
What you can do

Sixteen tools, one conversation.

Discover

Search shows & creators

Find podcasts by name, topic, or creator, and pull full details: description, author, artwork, categories, episodes, and Micropod community ratings and subscriber counts.

Curate

Build podcast lists

Create lists like “True crime en español” or “For the gym”, add shows with personal notes, and export them as OPML or shareable Markdown.

Follow

Subscriptions & what’s new

Follow shows, then ask “what’s new this week?” — Claude scans your feeds and returns every episode published in the last few days, newest first.

Move freely

OPML import & export

Bring your subscriptions from Apple Podcasts, Overcast, or Pocket Casts with one OPML file — and export them back out anytime. Your library is never locked in.

Community

Ratings, comments & explore

Rate shows from 1 to 5 stars, read what the community is saying, and browse what other Micropod listeners are sharing right now.

Share & sync

Short links & account sync

Create short micropod links for any show or episode, and sync subscriptions with your Micropod account to keep every device on the same page.

Configuration

Everything works out of the box. Lists and subscriptions are stored locally in ~/.micropod-mcp/data.json; a Micropod account is only needed to sync subscriptions across devices.

Variable Purpose
MICROPOD_EMAIL / MICROPOD_PASSWORD Micropod account credentials — only required for the sync_account tool.
MICROPOD_ACCESS_TOKEN A JWT access token, as an alternative to email and password.
MICROPOD_MCP_DIR Where local data is stored. Defaults to ~/.micropod-mcp.
MICROPOD_API_URL Micropod API base URL. Defaults to https://imprifyapp.com.
And on your iPhone
