# Podigee for AI agents enters controlled early access

Podigee for AI agents adds controlled MCP access, durable workflows, and local media tools.

Podigee for AI agents lets approved customers use a compatible AI application or terminal agent with the podcasts that they already manage in Podigee.

## What changed

* A hosted Model Context Protocol (MCP) endpoint provides account-bound Podigee tools, resources, and guided prompts.
* OAuth grants connect one client to one selected Podigee account with explicit permissions.
* Read-only tools cover podcasts, episodes, transcripts, generated assets, analytics, distribution, productions, operations, and protected-feed listeners.
* Write tools can create and update podcast work, control media production, publish episodes, import RSS feeds, submit supported platforms, and manage protected-feed access.
* Consequential changes use a preview and confirmation contract.
* Long-running publication and import work returns a durable operation that can survive a client disconnect.
* The `pdg` command-line interface (CLI) adds local file upload and complete terminal workflows.

## Availability

The hosted MCP service is in controlled early access. Access must be enabled for the Podigee account. A compatible remote MCP client can connect to `https://mcp.podigee.com/mcp` after access is enabled.

Public first-party listings for ChatGPT and Claude are separate releases. Podigee will identify each listing when its directory review and publication are complete. Until then, use a verified compatible MCP client or `pdg`.

## Important boundaries

* A hosted chat does not upload a local audio or video file through an MCP message.
* Use `pdg` or direct HTTPS upload when the workflow starts with a local file.
* Podigee does not fetch episode media from an arbitrary remote URL through MCP.
* External podcast directories control their own review and public listing state.
* An agent cannot gain a permission that the connected user, account, grant, or operation does not have.

## What you need to do

Open **AI Agents and MCP** in Documentation. Choose the connection method that matches your workflow. Run a read-only account check first. Grant write permissions only when the intended task needs them. Use the Help Center if connection, authorization, upload, publication, import, analytics, distribution, or protected-feed work does not complete as expected.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.podigee.com/changelog/ai-agents/podigee-for-ai-agents-controlled-early-access.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
