Executing Full Content Cycles with the MCP Server

A specialized agent uses `list_episodes` to gather a list of all current episodes, while another agent calls `get_show` to pull overarching show context. This collaboration ensures that every piece of content is cataloged and understood by the team. When finished, one agent can use `publish_episode`, making sure the entire cycle concludes with live content.

Auditing Private Subscriptions via MCP Server

A dedicated monitoring agent calls `list_subscribers` to get a full roster of private podcast subscribers. This data allows another specialized agent to analyze growth patterns or detect potential issues in the subscription base. If needed, the team can also use `add_subscriber` to manually record new signups into the system.

Retrieving and Updating Account Metadata with MCP Server

The primary agent uses `get_account_details` to verify core Transistor.fm account parameters at startup. If content needs tweaking, another specialized agent handles this by calling `update_episode`, ensuring the data is correct before publication.

Setup guide

Set up Transistor.fm MCP in CrewAI

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
crewai package (pip install crewai)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install CrewAI
Run pip install crewai to install the framework. MCP support is built-in via the mcps parameter.
2

Add the MCP URL to your agent
Pass your Vinkius endpoint directly to the mcps list. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. CrewAI handles tool discovery and caching automatically.
3

Kick off your crew
Create a Crew with your agent and tasks. Call crew.kickoff() — the agent will automatically invoke Transistor.fm tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

agent = Agent(
    role="Transistor.fm Analyst",
    goal="Access and analyze Transistor.fm data via MCP.",
    backstory="Expert analyst with direct Transistor.fm access.",
    mcps=[
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    ],
)

task = Task(
    description="List recent Transistor.fm transactions",
    agent=agent,
    expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
)

crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task])
result = crew.kickoff()
print(result)

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
crewai + crewai-tools packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run pip install crewai crewai-tools. The MCPServerAdapter handles lifecycle management and tool conversion.
2

Connect with MCPServerAdapter
Use MCPServerAdapter as a context manager with SseServerParameters pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. The adapter automatically manages connection lifecycle.
3

Assign tools and run
Pass the returned mcp_tools to your agent's tools parameter. The adapter converts MCP tools to native BaseTool objects compatible with all CrewAI agents.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
from crewai_tools import MCPServerAdapter
from mcp import SseServerParameters

server_params = SseServerParameters(
    url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)

with MCPServerAdapter(server_params) as mcp_tools:
    agent = Agent(
        role="Transistor.fm Analyst",
        goal="Access and analyze Transistor.fm data via MCP.",
        backstory="Expert analyst with direct Transistor.fm access.",
        tools=mcp_tools,
    )

    task = Task(
        description="List recent Transistor.fm transactions",
        agent=agent,
        expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
    )

    crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task])
    result = crew.kickoff()
