# Which AI clients can I use with Podigee?

Choose a supported way to use Podigee from an AI application or terminal agent.

Use a compatible remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) client for work that stays inside Podigee. Use the `pdg` command-line interface (CLI) when an agent must read a local media file.

## Choose a connection

| Need                                                | Use                                                                    |
| --------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Read or change Podigee data from a chat application | A custom connector in ChatGPT or Claude.ai with browser authorization  |
| Work in a terminal agent                            | Codex CLI with browser authorization, or `pdg`                         |
| Upload a local audio or video file                  | `pdg` in a terminal-capable agent, or the direct HTTPS upload flow     |
| Run a script without an interactive login           | `pdg` or any remote MCP client with a scoped MCP personal access token |

The hosted endpoint does not make a local file available to a chat application. Podigee also does not fetch episode media from an arbitrary remote URL through MCP.

## Check compatibility

1. Confirm that the client supports remote MCP servers over HTTP.
2. Use browser authorization in ChatGPT, Claude.ai, Codex CLI, or `pdg`. Use an MCP personal access token in any other client.
3. Use `https://mcp.podigee.com/mcp` as the MCP endpoint.
4. Use `pdg` when the workflow starts with a file on your computer.

## Expected result

The client completes authorization and can run a read-only Podigee check. A terminal workflow can also transfer local media when it has media write access.

## If the client does not work

Do not paste a token into a chat. Try a verified compatible client or `pdg`. If the problem continues, send Podigee Support the client name, version, time, and sanitized error message.

## 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/help-center/ai-agents/which-ai-clients-can-i-use-with-podigee.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.
