Pod Engine Launches Comprehensive Podcast Intelligence API with World's First MCP Server Integration

Pod Engine today announced the public launch of its comprehensive Podcast Intelligence self-serve API, providing developers unprecedented access to podcast data across transcripts, social media metrics, Youtube data, charts, reviews, and AI-powered content analysis.

The platform debuts as the world’s first podcast data API to include Model Context Protocol (MCP) server integration, enabling Claude and other tools to chat directly with Pod Engine’s vast amount of data.

Pod Engine’s API tracks every active podcast and aggregates dozens of data points from platforms including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, and every other major social network. Their proprietary AI pipeline analyzes podcasts at scale, providing insight into a podcast’s guests, sponsors, episode formats, and more.

Unlike traditional podcast APIs that focus primarily on basic metadata, Pod Engine provides deep intelligence that includes extensive transcript coverage, social media follower data, exhaustive contact information, AI-generated data, including guest and sponsor detection, podcast affiliations, and podcast location estimates.

“Existing podcast APIs treat podcast data as static directory information with basic search features,” said Joe Tannorella, cofounder of Pod Engine. “Pod Engine provides intelligence about the podcast ecosystem and at an entry price point that is exceptional value for everybody looking to use or trial using podcast data. We have been impressed by what our customers are building using our API, from integrating podcasts into existing enterprise PR tech platforms to niche knowledge bases.”

Enterprise-Grade Architecture with Accessible Pricing

The platform already powers industry-leading enterprise PR technology platforms serving thousands of household-name customers. The API includes REST endpoints, client libraries, S3 integration for enterprise clients, and an MCP server integration.

Pricing starts at $100 per month, making comprehensive podcast intelligence accessible to individual developers and small teams. Higher rate limits, including an unlimited plan, are also available.

For just $100 per month, customers can now access thousands of podcast searches, contact details, keyword alerts, charts, social details, and more.

Bolstering Pod Engine’s proposition

By making it extremely simple to find and book podcasts for client interviews and ensuring they hear every mention, Pod Engine already calls some of the world’s leading podcast and PR agencies happy customers. Their core platform was proudly built upon these same APIs that they’re now opening up to everybody else to also use.
