How do I get a Podbean Access Token?

You must register as a developer at the [**Podbean Developer Portal**](https://developers.podbean.com/). Once you create an application, you can use the OAuth 2.0 flow to generate an access token for your account.

Can I upload audio files through this agent?

The current version of this MCP server is optimized for metadata management and publishing. For initial audio file uploads, we recommend using the Podbean dashboard to obtain a `media_key`, which can then be used by the agent to publish the episode.
