## What it does

Rephonic is a remote MCP server at `https://mcp.rephonic.com`. It hands your agent podcast data: find shows by topic or publisher, pull episodes and full transcripts, read ratings and listener reviews, grab host and guest contacts, social accounts with follower metrics, metric history, overlapping audiences, Apple, Spotify and YouTube chart positions, plus sponsors with ad copy and promo codes.

Roughly two dozen tools sit behind it. `search_podcasts` and `search_episodes` match on titles, show notes and transcripts; `find_podcast` turns an Apple/iTunes ID, Spotify ID, YouTube channel ID or RSS URL into a Rephonic ID; `lookup_podcast` returns metadata and chart rankings. Other tools cover demographics, contacts, a single episode's transcript and its sponsors. Category, country, language, profession and interest lookups feed the search filters, and `api_quota` reports how many requests you have left.

A Rephonic API key is required, and the connector asks for it during setup. Claude takes one command; Cursor and GitHub Copilot take a config entry. Without the key the API calls fail, so create one in the Rephonic developer dashboard first.
