Connects Claude to the Listen Notes podcast database through Pipeworx's MCP gateway. Exposes two main tools: search across podcasts, episodes, curated lists, and people, plus best_podcasts for browsing top shows by category or region. Requires a free Listen Notes API key to use. You can call tools directly or use the ask_pipeworx helper to query in plain English and let the gateway route to the right endpoint. Runs as a hosted service, so no local setup needed. Useful when you're building podcast discovery features, researching shows for content ideas, or need to pull structured podcast metadata into your AI workflows.
Listen Notes MCP.
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 673+ live data sources.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
search | Search podcasts/episodes/curated/people. |
best_podcasts | Top podcasts. |
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"listen-notes": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/listen-notes/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 673+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Listen Notes data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
