Overview
What is Podcli?
Podcli is an open-source podcast clip generator that turns long-form podcasts into upload-ready TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Reels. It runs entirely locally, requires no uploads or SaaS, and is MIT licensed. Podcli works as both a CLI tool and an MCP server, designed for use with AI agents such as Claude Code, Claude Desktop, or Codex.
How to use Podcli?
Install by cloning the repository and running ./setup.sh. Requires Node ≥18, Python ≥3.10, and FFmpeg. Use via CLI (./podcli process episode.mp4 --top 8), Web UI (npm run ui), or as an MCP server by adding the provided JSON configuration to Claude Code, Claude Desktop, or Codex. The MCP setup specifies the path to dist/index.js and the Python virtual environment.
