Built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more

The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications expose capabilities to LLMs. Instead of operating in isolation, your AI gains direct access to external platforms, live data, and real-world actions through secure, standardized connections.

This connection provides 12 powerful capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other compatible AI platforms. No middleware. No custom integration required.

Managing customer reputation shouldn't mean switching between five different tabs., Solved with Vinkius AI Gateway

Right now, if a happy client leaves a review online, you have to do a scavenger hunt: log into the chat platform to see their initial message; jump to your CRM to find their contact info; then open the review site just to copy the star rating. You end up spending more time copying and pasting data than actually communicating with customers.

With this MCP server, it’s one command. Your AI agent handles the whole sequence: it pulls the latest reviews (`list_reviews`), identifies the best contact points (`get_contact_details`), and drafts a reply or sends an invitation—all within your chat client. You get immediate actionability.

Podium MCP Server lets you send messages directly from natural conversation.

Before this, sending a follow-up message required going into the Podium dashboard, finding the correct location ID, and manually composing and hitting 'Send.' If you needed to target 20 people, that was 20 manual steps of context switching.

Now, you just tell your agent: 'Send a follow-up message to all contacts at the Westside Branch.' The server runs `send_message` automatically for every contact while respecting the location ID. It's simple automation.

What your AI can actually do with this

This agent connects your local business comms—the stuff happening right in Podium—directly to your AI client. You manage customer outreach and reputation tracking without ever leaving the chat window. It’s built for people who need to talk to data, not navigate dashboards.

Managing Customer Conversations:
It lets you handle every active message thread across multiple locations using list_conversations. When you're ready to reply, you can send a direct response with send_message, just gotta give it the location ID and what you wanna say. You never have to manually check messages again.

Handling Reviews & Reputation:
You can pull all of your business review history for specific sites using list_reviews. If someone's had a good time, you don’t need to write an email; the agent sends a review request automatically with send_review_invitation. This keeps your reputation front and center.

Building and Maintaining Contact Records:
It handles all your customer profiles. You can pull a full list of every contact managed by the organization using list_contacts, or you can get specific, deep metadata on one user with get_contact_details. Need to add someone new? Just call create_contact and it builds the profile right in Podium.

Mapping Your Business Footprint:
You're not just managing contacts; you're mapping out your whole operation. You can pull a list of every physical business location with list_locations. For specific operational details about any site, use get_location_details. To get the big picture—the overall company setup metadata—you’ve got get_organization_info. The agent also pulls profile data for whoever is using it right now with get_current_user.

System Configuration and Tools:
The agent keeps tabs on your system too. You can list all the API webhooks that are active or configured using list_webhooks, letting you see exactly what's running in the background. It’s a full-stack comms manager, giving you direct access to every tool Podium uses.

Questions you might have

How do I list my business locations using Podium MCP Server? +

You call the list_locations tool. This returns a list of all physical sites associated with your account, giving you the IDs needed for other actions.

Can I send a message without knowing the location ID? (Podium MCP Server) +

No. The send_message tool requires both the contact's information and a valid Location ID to work correctly, so always run list_locations first.

What is the difference between list_contacts and get_contact_details? (Podium MCP Server) +

list_contacts gives you an overview of every contact. You must use get_contact_details when you need specific, deep information—like their last interaction date or a specialized field.

How do I automate review requests with Podium MCP Server? +

You run the send_review_invitation tool. This sends the request message on your behalf and provides status updates, letting you track delivery rates immediately in the chat.

How do I use get_organization_info to verify my account setup? +

It immediately pulls your current organization's core details. Run this after connecting the access token; it confirms you have the necessary read/write scope for all organizational settings and metadata.

What specific data points does list_conversations provide? +

It lists conversation threads tied to a location ID. The output gives you thread IDs, associated contacts, and timestamps, letting your agent track who talked to whom across different channels.

How can I monitor system events using list_webhooks? +

This tool pulls a complete list of all configured webhooks. You verify the endpoint URL, trigger status, and last activity date, which lets your AI client know what external events Podium is monitoring.

What happens if I use create_contact with an existing customer's details? +

The server handles duplicate entries gracefully. It returns a specific error code indicating the conflict instead of failing, so your agent can then fetch the correct record using get_contact_details.

Can my AI automatically find the latest reviews for a specific business location? +

Yes! Use the list_reviews tool with the Location ID. Your agent will respond with the most recent customer reviews and their ratings in seconds.

How do I find my Podium Location ID? +

Ask the AI agent to run the list_locations tool. It will retrieve all your business locations along with their unique IDs for you to use in other commands.

Can I send an SMS invitation for a review via the AI? +

Absolutely. Use the send_review_invitation tool. Provide the customer details and the location ID, and the agent will trigger the invitation via Podium immediately.
