How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security97
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation is enforced on tool calls, advertised via RFC 9728 protected-resource metadata. Discovery is public, which costs nothing: no tool can be invoked without a token. View diagnostics → Pass
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- The authorisation server supports Client ID Metadata Documents, the current MCP client-registration mechanism. View diagnostics → Pass
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability58
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 532 tokens (~177/item across 3 items; 3 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management100
- No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
Tool Coverage71
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 0% of tool parameters carry a description.Fail
- Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- All 1 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 4 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).Pass
How do I install the PodMule MCP server?
PodMule is a hosted endpoint at https://app.podmule.com/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
ask_podmule ~100
Ask PodMule for a concise read-only domain answer or an advisory route plan. Use this for quick questions, summaries, diagnostics, drafting, "what should I do?" prompts, and ambiguous action requests. This tool never performs writes. For exact capability contracts use search; for one selected action (read or write) use execute.

execute ~96
Execute one OAuth-visible PodMule capability. Reads run directly. Modern MCP 2026 clients with MRTR support may preview and affirm the allowlisted update_episode pilot; legacy clients and every other MCP write remain read-only. Dangerous writes are always blocked — do those in the PodMule app. Use ask_podmule for ambiguous requests and search for exact schemas.

search ~67
Search available PodMule capabilities for this OAuth token. Use this when you need the exact capability name or schema before calling execute. For ambiguous domain requests, call ask_podmule first.

What is the PodMule MCP server?
PodMule is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as com.podmule/podmule. Search, draft and manage your podcast workspace from your agent. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://app.podmule.com/mcp).
Is the PodMule MCP server safe to use?
PodMule scores 89 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.
What tools does the PodMule MCP server expose?
PodMule exposes 3 tools: ask_podmule, search, execute. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 263 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Does the PodMule MCP server require authentication?
Yes. PodMule asked us for credentials when we connected, so you will need to authorise it in your MCP client before it can do anything.
Is the PodMule MCP server still maintained?
PodMule is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 21 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
