FAQ from Podbean MCP Server

What authentication methods are supported?

Client credentials for managing your own podcasts and OAuth flow for third‑party access; token management allows handling multiple podcasts.

Can the server upload files to Podbean?

No. Due to STDIO protocol limitations, the server can only authorize uploads (generate presigned URLs and file keys). Actual file transfer must be handled by external tools.

What are the prerequisites to use this server?

Python 3.10 or higher, a Podbean account with API access, and Podbean API credentials (Client ID and Secret).

Are there any rate limits or other limitations?

Podbean has rate limits on requests. Some features may require a paid Podbean subscription. The server cannot directly upload files.
