Build Production Podcast Management

Your agent can manage full episode lifecycles from start to finish. You use `create_episode` and then, when ready, call `update_episode`. After confirming the content is perfect, you hit `publish_episode`, making it live for listeners.

Track Your Audience Growth

Need to know who's listening? The agent can pull a full roster of private podcast subscribers using `list_subscribers`. It also lets you get high-level data on the account via `get_account_details`. This is key for reporting. You don't have to manually export subscriber lists; your agent handles it all.

Structure and Retrieve Show Data

The server lets you map out an entire podcast structure. Your agent can list every show with `list_shows`, then drill down into a specific series using `get_show`. From there, it pulls all related episodes via `list_episodes`. It's how your agent builds the full content outline before any changes are made.

Setup guide

Set up Transistor.fm MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Prerequisites

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

1

Install the SDK

Run pip install openai-agents to install the OpenAI Agents SDK. The MCP integration is built-in — no extra dependencies needed.
2

Connect via SSE transport

Use MCPServerSse with your Vinkius endpoint URL. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. The SDK auto-discovers all Transistor.fm tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

Pass the MCP to Agent(mcp_servers=[server]). The agent receives Transistor.fm tools as native definitions — JSON schemas resolve automatically.
4

Run the agent

Call Runner.run(agent, prompt) to execute. The agent invokes the appropriate Transistor.fm tools and returns structured results. Copy the full example on the right to get started.

agent.py

import asyncio
from agents import Agent, Runner
from agents.mcp import MCPServerSse

async def main():
    async with MCPServerSse(
        url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    ) as server:
        agent = Agent(
            name="Transistor.fm Agent",
            instructions="You have access to Transistor.fm tools.",
            mcp_servers=[server],
        )
        result = await Runner.run(agent, "List recent transactions")
        print(result.final_output)

asyncio.run(main())
