Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Buzzsprout MCP to OpenAI Agents SDK
Create your Vinkius account to connect Buzzsprout to OpenAI Agents SDK and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Guarded Episode Publishing
The `create_episode` tool connects this Buzzsprout MCP Server to your OpenAI Agents SDK to draft and publish episodes directly to your feed. Your agent handles the show notes, titles, and audio attachments without you touching the Buzzsprout dashboard. Because this runs on the OpenAI Agents SDK, you get built-in safety guardrails. The SDK validates the payload before running `create_episode`, preventing malformed drafts or accidental immediate publishing.
Safe Episode Auditing via OpenAI Agents SDK
The `list_episodes` and `get_episode` tools feed your podcast history directly into your agent's context. Your agent compares performance metrics across your catalog and highlights drop-offs or metadata gaps. You can trace these reads directly in your OpenAI dashboard. If an agent tries to modify a title using `update_episode`, the SDK logs the exact payload, keeping your feed's history clean and auditable.
Automated Catalog Cleanup
The `delete_episode` tool removes outdated or incorrect episodes from your Buzzsprout hosting. Your agent evaluates your catalog against your criteria and flags or removes old files automatically. This MCP Server runs in a zero-trust Vinkius sandbox, ensuring your deletion requests execute securely. You define the rules, and the agent cleans up your feed without manual clicking.
