## Trust breakdown

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. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-09-21.

- **Endpoint Security**: 97/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - 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.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
  - The authorisation server supports Client ID Metadata Documents, the current MCP client-registration mechanism.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 58/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - 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.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 100/100
  - No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.
- **Tool Coverage**: 71/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 0% of tool parameters carry a description.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - All 1 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation.
  - An AI judge read all 4 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).

## Install

### 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.

### Claude

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http com-podmule-podmule 'https://app.podmule.com/mcp'
```

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "com-podmule-podmule": {
      "url": "https://app.podmule.com/mcp"

    }
  }
}
```

### Vellum

```bash
assistant mcp add com-podmule-podmule -t streamable-http -u 'https://app.podmule.com/mcp'
```

### Other

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "com-podmule-podmule": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://app.podmule.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

The mcpServers block is a cross-client convention. Remote transports vary, so check your client's docs.

## MCP tools (3)

### `ask_podmule` (~100 tokens)

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.

Input parameters:

- `context` (object)
- `request` (string, required)
- `response_format` (string)

Output parameters:

- `answer` (string)
- `citations` (array)
- `error` (object)
- `links` (array)
- `route` (object)
- `status` (string)
- `suggested_actions` (array)

### `search` (~67 tokens)

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.

Input parameters:

- `detail` (string)
- `limit` (integer)
- `query` (string)

Output parameters:

- `matches` (array)
- `total` (integer)
- `writes_enabled` (boolean)

### `execute` (~96 tokens)

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.

Input parameters:

- `input` (object)
- `name` (string, required)

Output parameters:

- `error` (object)
- `invocation_id`
- `links` (array)
- `result`
- `status` (string)
- `writes_enabled` (boolean)

## Common questions

### 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.
