Search full-text across podcast transcripts with timestamps, or ask questions that are answered with direct quotes from episodes. Results cite the podcast, episode, and minute. Requires an API key; usage is billed per search and question.

Example request: "Find what experts said about AI on the Joe Rogan Experience in the last year."

How to connect: Not in Muse's Connectors list yet, but Muse can still use it. Paste this into Muse: "Use Podgist to help me. It is a free service with an MCP server at https://api.podgist.com/mcp. It does not need an API key. Ask me before you share anything with it." Muse asks before it shares anything with the app's site. Meta does not review apps used this way, so only use ones you trust. We tested this in the Muse app on September 24, 2026: Muse used an app's link directly this way and returned a live answer.
