# MCP API overview

Exact public contracts for the Podigee MCP endpoint, tools, resources, prompts, and shared behavior.

The Podigee MCP API lets authorized agents inspect and manage podcast work through one account-bound resource.

## Public identity

| Contract                    | Value                                                              |
| --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| MCP endpoint                | `https://mcp.podigee.com/mcp`                                      |
| Authorization server        | `https://app.podigee.com`                                          |
| Protected-resource metadata | `https://mcp.podigee.com/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/mcp` |
| Authorization metadata      | `https://app.podigee.com/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server`   |

## Capability groups

* Identity, account readiness, allowances, and usage.
* Podcast and episode metadata.
* Transcript search and generated content assets.
* Resumable media uploads, production, encoding, and publishing.
* Podcast imports and durable operation recovery.
* Analytics summaries and report discovery.

## Discovery

Modern clients can call `server/discover` and then use `tools/list`, `resources/list`, and `prompts/list`. Catalog responses are private to the authorization context and can change with scopes.

## Reference navigation

* Foundation pages define the shared transport, authorization, safety, data, and error contracts.
* Tool pages contain exact input and output JSON Schemas and tool annotations.
* Resource pages define readable URI patterns.
* Prompt pages explain the guidance returned by Podigee prompts.

The customer guides explain how to complete outcomes. This reference describes the contract a compatible client must follow.

## 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/documentation/start-here/ai-agents/mcp-reference/reference.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.
