Scheduling and Publishing with the MCP Server

Need to make an episode live? Use `publish_episode` to push content out automatically, or call `update_episode` if you just changed some metadata. These tools let your Mastra agent handle the full lifecycle of a podcast piece. Furthermore, if you need to remove old material, `delete_episode` handles that cleanup step in your workflow. It's perfect for complex processes that require content management.

Managing Show and Account Data via MCP Server

The `get_account_details` tool lets your agent pull core Transistor.fm account info, which is key for validation steps in a workflow. You can also use `list_shows` to gather all available podcast show IDs before processing them one by one.

Tracking Audience Growth with MCP Server

To track audience growth, your agent calls `list_subscribers`. This provides a list of private podcast subscribers that you can then analyze for churn prediction. You'll also use `add_subscriber` to record new signups into the workflow state.

Setup guide

Set up Transistor.fm MCP in Mastra AI

Prerequisites

Node.js 18+ and a TypeScript project
@mastra/mcp + @mastra/core packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run npm install @mastra/mcp @mastra/core plus your preferred model provider (e.g. @ai-sdk/openai).
2

Configure the MCPClient
Create an MCPClient with your Vinkius endpoint as a URL object. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Discover and inject tools
Call mcpClient.listTools() and spread the result into your agent's tools object. All Transistor.fm tools become native Mastra tools.
4

Run with any model
Swap openai("gpt-4o") for any AI SDK-compatible provider. Call agent.generate() and the agent routes tool calls through MCP automatically.

agent.ts

import { MCPClient } from "@mastra/mcp";
import { Agent } from "@mastra/core/agent";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";

const mcpClient = new MCPClient({
  id: "transistorfm-mcp-client",
  servers: {
    "transistorfm-mcp": {
      url: new URL(
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
      ),
    },
  },
});

const agent = new Agent({
  name: "Transistor.fm Agent",
  model: openai("gpt-4o"),
  instructions: "You have access to Transistor.fm tools.",
  tools: {
    ...(await mcpClient.listTools()),
  },
});

const result = await agent.generate(
  "List recent Transistor.fm transactions"
);
console.log(result.text);
