AudioPod MCP Server
Hosted Model Context Protocol server for AudioPod's audio AI. Give any MCP-capable agent — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Continue, Cline, Goose, Codex — audio tools over a remote endpoint. No install, no local models, no GPU.
| Full endpoint | https://mcp.audiopod.ai — 18 tools: transcription, stems, noise removal, speakers, MIDI, conversion, speech, voices and music |
| Core endpoint | https://mcp.audiopod.ai/core — 9 tools that work on audio you already have; none creates new audio |
| Transport | Streamable-HTTP (MCP 2025-06-18) |
| Auth | OAuth 2.1 — your client opens a sign-in window on first use. For CI / headless use, send X-API-Key: ap_* instead (get a free key) |
| Docs | https://docs.audiopod.ai/agents · MCP reference https://docs.audiopod.ai/sdks/mcp |
| Discovery | /.well-known/mcp/server-card.json |
Registry names (official MCP Registry): ai.audiopod/audiopod (full, server.json) and ai.audiopod/audiopod-core (core, server-core.json).
Installing with an agent? llms-install.md is the unattended-install guide — config for each client, how to verify, and the failures to expect.
Using a coding agent? AudiopodAI/audiopod-plugins wraps this server plus fourteen task skills as a one-command install for the major agent CLIs and editors.
Prefer HTTP? The same capabilities are a REST API, and the public Getting
Started collection reaches a real 200 in two requests with no account and no
API key. More about the collections.

Add it
Claude Code (OAuth sign-in on first use; swap in /core for the core endpoint)
claude mcp add --transport http audiopod https://mcp.audiopod.ai --scope user
Claude Desktop / Cursor / Continue / Cline — add to your mcpServers config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"audiopod": { "url": "https://mcp.audiopod.ai" }
}
}
Headless / CI — skip OAuth with an API key header:
{
"mcpServers": {
"audiopod": {
"url": "https://mcp.audiopod.ai",
"headers": { "X-API-Key": "ap_YOUR_KEY" }
}
}
}

Three manifests live here and they are not interchangeable: server.json and
server-core.json are the official registry entries (registry schema) for the
full and core endpoints, server-card.json is the MCP server
card — a reference copy, since the live card is served at the Discovery URL above.
