Publish and verify with LangChain chains

The `publish_episode` tool pushes your raw audio file straight to your feed. When you link this tool inside a LangChain chain, the outputted episode ID feeds directly into the next step without manual copying. Your agent uses `get_episode_details` to verify the metadata matches your production sheet before the feed goes live. Our MCP Server connects to your feed, and LangSmith traces the entire sequence so you can spot bottlenecks instantly.

Build analytics loops using this MCP Server

The `get_podcast_analytics` tool pulls your overall show performance data directly into your LangChain workflow. This lets your agent analyze listener trends over specific time blocks and compare them against older campaigns. By feeding this performance data into a decision chain, your agent decides whether to pull individual episode metrics using `get_episode_analytics`. You see the exact token usage and latency for every API call inside your LangSmith dashboard.

Clean up and update feeds via LangChain

The `list_podcasts` tool identifies which show feed you want to modify before executing any updates. From there, your LangChain agent pulls the entire catalog via `list_episodes` to search for outdated links or typos. If the agent finds a broken promotional link in an old show note, it runs `update_episode` to fix the text across your catalog. If an episode needs to be taken down completely, the agent calls `delete_episode` to remove it from the RSS feed.

Setup guide

Set up Podbean Podcast Hosting MCP in LangChain

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
langchain-mcp-adapters + langgraph packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run pip install langchain-mcp-adapters langgraph langchain-openai. The MCP adapters package converts MCP tools into native LangChain BaseTool objects.
2

Connect via HTTP transport
Use MultiServerMCPClient with "transport": "http" pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Create a ReAct agent
Pass the discovered tools to create_react_agent() from LangGraph. The agent automatically routes Podbean Podcast Hosting tool calls through the MCP protocol.
4

Run with any LLM
Swap ChatOpenAI for ChatAnthropic, ChatGoogleGenerativeAI, or any LangChain-compatible model. The MCP tools work identically across all providers.

agent.py

from langchain_mcp_adapters.client import MultiServerMCPClient
from langgraph.prebuilt import create_react_agent
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI

async with MultiServerMCPClient({
    "podbean-podcast-hosting-mcp": {
        "transport": "http",
        "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp",
    }
}) as client:
    tools = client.get_tools()

    agent = create_react_agent(
        ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o"),
        tools,
    )
    result = await agent.ainvoke({
        "messages": "List recent Podbean Podcast Hosting transactions"
    })
    print(result["messages"][-1].content)
