Track Podcasts MCP
An official MCP server providing five read-only tools to query podcast sponsorship data detected from transcribed audio. It allows AI assistants to identify sponsors of specific shows, track brand advertising across podcasts, analyze sponsor activity over time, check data coverage completeness, and view busiest advertiser categories.

get_show_sponsors — Sponsors of a podcast
Who sponsors a given podcast. Returns every brand whose ad read was detected in that show's transcribed episodes, with how many reads, whether they were host-read or network-inserted, and when they were first and last heard. Accepts a show title, a trackpodcasts.com slug or a URL. If the title is ambiguous it returns candidate shows to choose from instead of guessing. Detected ad reads only — brands that were merely mentioned are not included.

"required": [
"show"
],
"properties": {
"show": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Podcast title, slug or trackpodcasts.com URL, e.g. \"The Glenn Beck Program\"."
}
},
"additionalProperties": false
}get_brand_podcasts — Podcasts a brand sponsors
Which podcasts a brand advertises on. Returns the shows where that brand's ad reads were detected, newest first, with the exact total even when the list itself is truncated for the plan. Accepts a brand name, slug or domain (a domain is the most reliable). Returns candidate brands when the name is ambiguous.
{
"type": "object",
"required": [
"brand"
],
"properties": {
"brand": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Brand name, slug or domain, e.g. \"Squarespace\" or \"squarespace.com\"."
}
},
"additionalProperties": false
}get_sponsor_activity_summary — A brand’s advertising over time
How a brand’s podcast advertising has moved month by month: shows reached, ad reads detected and organic mentions, for up to 36 months. Use this for trend questions ("is this brand spending more?", "when did they start?"). Months with no detections are returned as zero, which means nothing was detected rather than that the brand stopped.

}
},
"additionalProperties": false
}get_coverage_info — What this dataset covers
How much of podcasting this dataset actually covers: shows indexed, episodes transcribed, and the real number of brands and shows with detected ad reads. Call this before stating any sponsor finding as complete, and to explain why a show or brand might be missing.
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {},
"additionalProperties": false
}get_busiest_categories — Busiest advertiser categories
Which advertiser categories are buying the most podcast ads right now, by ad reads detected, with the number of brands and shows behind each. Aggregate only — it does not list the brands in a category.

"type": "object",
"properties": {
