Frequently asked questions
Can I publish a draft episode via AI?
Yes! Use the publish_episode action and provide the unique Episode ID. Your agent will instantly make that episode live on your RSS feed and podcast platforms.
How do I add a new subscriber to my private podcast?
Use the add_subscriber action. Provide the Show ID and the person's email address to instantly grant them access to your private podcast content.
Is it possible to see the list of all episodes for a show?
Absolutely. Use the list_episodes query and provide the Show ID. The agent will retrieve the complete history of episodes associated with that podcast.
How does Pydantic AI discover MCP tools?
Create an MCPServerHTTP instance with the server URL. Pydantic AI connects, discovers all tools, and generates typed Python interfaces automatically.
Does Pydantic AI validate MCP tool responses?
Yes. When you define result types as Pydantic models, every tool response is validated against the schema. Invalid data raises a clear error instead of silently corrupting your pipeline.
Can I switch LLM providers without changing MCP code?
Absolutely. Pydantic AI abstracts the model layer. your Transistor.fm MCP integration works identically with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or any supported provider.
