How to Use the Megaphone MCP in Claude Code

Q: Can I pipe Megaphone ad data into other CLI tools using Claude Code?

Yes. Claude Code can pull your ad orders with listorders and format the output so you can pipe it directly into jq or redirect it to a local CSV file.

Q: How does Claude Code search for episodes in Megaphone?

The terminal agent calls searchepisodes with your query parameters. It then uses getepisode to display the specific episode metadata and audio URLs directly in your shell.

Q: How do I check ad locations for a specific episode?

Provide the episode ID to the CLI agent. It will run listadlocations to output the exact timestamps and configurations for all mid-rolls and pre-rolls.

Terminal-First Ad Operations via Claude Code

The `list_orders` tool outputs raw JSON for your active ad sales directly in your shell. Claude Code lets you pipe this data into jq, grep, or custom bash scripts to monitor pacing without opening a browser. You can quickly audit your network's financial health by running standard terminal commands. The agent handles the complex API queries and formats the output for instant terminal viewing using this MCP server.

Headless Episode Management and Search

The `search_episodes` tool queries your entire network catalog from the command line. Claude Code runs this search and immediately feeds the matching IDs into `get_episode` to pull publishing dates or download URLs. This makes bulk CLI updates incredibly fast. You can find specific episodes, check their publishing status, and extract audio source files without leaving your terminal session.

Command Line Network and Podcast Audits

The `list_networks` tool gives you a quick overview of all connected podcast properties. From there, you can query `list_podcasts` to list every show under a specific network ID, making server-side auditing simple. This MCP toolset integrates perfectly with cron jobs and deployment scripts. You can automate nightly status checks on your podcast feeds and direct the output to your system logs.
