## Description

You can stop manually calculating how much time you need to finish a podcast series. This MCP gives your AI client the ability to dig into podcast season data and return specific timing metrics. If you want to know the total raw runtime of a season, your agent can pull that immediately. If you prefer listening at 1.5x speed, the MCP calculates exactly how much time that saves you. It also breaks down episode distributions, so you can see if a season is composed of short daily clips or long-form deep dives. You can also grab basic metadata like release years and episode counts to keep your listening logs organized. It turns your AI into a media analyst that understands the temporal footprint of your favorite shows.
