PodLearn searches 4M+ podcasts via PodcastIndex and YouTube, transcribes audio to text, and generates structured AI lessons with summaries and key takeaways. Save episodes, create LinkedIn posts from lessons, and search within transcripts.

Example request: "Find a podcast about machine learning, transcribe the latest episode, and generate a lesson I can share on LinkedIn."

How to connect: Not in Muse's Connectors list yet, but Muse can still use it. Paste this into Muse: "Use PodLearn to help me. It is a free service with an MCP server at https://httiyebjgxxwtgggkpgw.supabase.co/functions/v1/mcp-server-streamable. It needs an API key from blutrich; ask me to enter it through your secure credential prompt. 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.

Tools:
- search_podcasts: Search PodLearn library AND PodcastIndex.org (4M+ podcasts) by keyword. Also resolves Spotify/Apple Podcasts URLs. Returns rows tagged with `source: local|podcastindex|spotify`. First move when the user names a podcast/host but you don't have its id.
- list_podcasts: List podcasts already in the PodLearn library, optionally filtered by category. Returns most-recently-added first. For discovery beyond the library use search_podcasts.
- get_podcast_details: Fetch full metadata for one podcast in the PodLearn library, including its episode count. The podcast must already be in the local DB (source=local in search_podcasts results).
- search_episodes: Cross-podcast episode search by title/description AND parent podcast name/author. Returns local episodes only — for podcasts discoverable on PodcastIndex that aren't yet ingested, use list_feed_episodes instead. `status: "transcribed"` filters to ready-to-read; `status: "untransc
- list_feed_episodes: Fetch the canonical episode list for a podcast directly from PodcastIndex (the upstream RSS index). NO COST — pure discovery. Each episode is enriched with `in_library`, `episode_id` (if already ingested), and `transcription_status`. For episodes you want to ingest: call transcri
- list_episodes: List episodes already in the local DB for a specific podcast. Requires podcast_id (use search_podcasts first if you only have a name). For cross-podcast search use search_episodes; for canonical PodcastIndex listings use list_feed_episodes.
- get_episode_details: Fetch full metadata for one episode including transcription_status and lesson_generation_status. Tells you whether get_transcription is ready or you need to transcribe first: start_transcription(episode_id) for an in-library episode (inherits its existing show/artwork/feed linkag
- transcribe_url: Ingest and transcribe an EXTERNAL / arbitrary audio URL — a URL the user pasted, or audio not reachable through the index. Creates a STANDALONE episode row. If the episode is already in the library (it has an episode_id), prefer start_transcription(episode_id) instead — it inheri
- transcribe_feed: Bulk/season transcription — kick off transcription for up to `max` (cap 25) not-yet-transcribed episodes of a podcast feed in ONE call. Pass the `feed_id` from search_podcasts / list_feed_episodes. Already-transcribed episodes are skipped free. COSTS 1 credit per newly enqueued e
- start_transcription: Kick off transcription on an episode ALREADY in the library. Use only when the episode row exists and transcription_status is not "completed". Inherits the episode's existing show, artwork, and feed linkage automatically — no need to pass podcast context. For audio not yet in the
- get_transcription: Fetch transcript text for a completed episode. PAGINATED — returns up to 120,000 characters per call (Claude.ai/Desktop caps a tool result at ~150k chars). Most transcripts fit in one call; only very long episodes page. If the response has `has_more: true`, call again with `offse
- search_transcription: Keyword search WITHIN a single episode's transcript. Returns matching chunks with surrounding context. Use instead of get_transcription when the user asked about a specific topic — server does this faster + cheaper on context.
- get_transcription_segments: Fetch timestamped transcript segments. Use when the user wants timestamps — "jump to where they discuss X", chapter boundaries, durations of specific parts.
- list_lessons: List the calling user's saved AI-generated lessons.
- get_lesson_content: Fetch the full body of one AI-generated lesson (title, summary, key takeaways, structured sections). Use to retrieve prior synthesis — for creating a NEW one call generate_lesson.
- generate_lesson: Generate a structured AI lesson (summary, key takeaways, sections) from a completed transcription. Requires the episode to have transcription_status "completed". Consumes 1 credit, or one unit of subscription quota, on first generation for an episode; subsequent calls return the 
- get_subscription_status: Get the caller's subscription plan + active/expired status + period end.
- get_user_credits: Get the caller's remaining transcription credits.
- get_episode_usage: Get the caller's episode-access usage stats — how many episodes they've transcribed/read this billing period.
- get_saved_items: List the caller's saved/bookmarked episodes and lessons.
- save_item: Bookmark an episode or lesson for the caller.
- remove_saved_item: Permanently remove a saved/bookmarked episode or lesson from the caller's collection. The saved_item_id comes from get_saved_items.
- generate_linkedin_post: Turn an already-generated lesson into a LinkedIn-ready share post. Pass lesson_id directly OR episode_id (uses the most recent lesson generated by the caller for that episode). Lesson must exist — chain after generate_lesson if needed.
- search_youtube: Discover YouTube videos by topic/keyword across all of YouTube. Use when the user wants to learn from a talk/interview/lecture and has no URL — especially when search_podcasts / search_episodes find nothing (much long-form content is YouTube-first). NO COST: pure discovery. Retur
- browse_episodes: Open an interactive episode picker (card grid with thumbnails) for the user to pick an episode to read. On hosts that render MCP Apps the grid is clickable; everywhere else a markdown table is returned. Optional query filters by title/host.
