AudioPod agent plugin

One installable package that gives any plugin-capable coding agent AudioPod's audio AI — ten MCP tools over a single hosted endpoint, plus fourteen task skills that describe the full multi-step flows (narrate an audiobook, build a podcast, cut a karaoke track).

No install, no local models, no GPU.

Your first API key comes with $1 of free API credit.

Set your key first

Every client below reads the key from the AUDIOPOD_API_KEY environment variable — except Gemini CLI, which prompts for it and stores it in your system keychain. No key is ever written into this repo.

export AUDIOPOD_API_KEY=ap_your_key_here

Install

Claude Code

claude plugin marketplace add AudiopodAI/audiopod-plugins
claude plugin install audiopod@audiopod

Then /audiopod in a session to see what is available and check the connection. The owner/repo shorthand falls back to HTTPS when no GitHub SSH key is configured; claude plugin marketplace add https://github.com/AudiopodAI/audiopod-plugins is the explicit equivalent.

Gemini CLI

gemini extensions install https://github.com/AudiopodAI/audiopod-plugins

Gemini reads gemini-extension.json, prompts for the AudioPod API key on install and stores it as a sensitive setting.

Codex

codex plugin marketplace add AudiopodAI/audiopod-plugins
codex plugin add audiopod@audiopod

Codex reads the same marketplace manifest this repo ships for Claude Code, then loads plugin.json, mcp.json and skills/ from the plugin root. /plugins inside Codex CLI browses configured and remote marketplaces instead.

Cursor

Customize → Plugins → search for AudioPod → Install, and pick project or user scope. To test before it is listed, clone the repo into ~/.cursor/plugins/local:

git clone https://github.com/AudiopodAI/audiopod-plugins.git ~/.cursor/plugins/local/audiopod

Kiro

Powers panel → Add Custom Power → Import power from GitHub, enter https://github.com/AudiopodAI/audiopod-plugins, then Install.

Any other MCP client

Skip the plugin layer and point your client straight at the server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "audiopod": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://mcp.audiopod.ai",
      "headers": { "X-API-Key": "ap_YOUR_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

Tools

Long-running tools return a job_id immediately — poll check_job_status until COMPLETED. Polling is free.

Skills

Fourteen skills ship in skills/, each a SKILL.md the agent loads on demand. They cover the tasks that need more than one call, and document the REST endpoints for the ones that are not exposed as MCP tools.

What is in this repo

The manifests are deliberately duplicated rather than merged: the formats agree on skills/ and on the shape of an MCP server entry, but disagree on where the manifest lives and on the key that carries the endpoint URL (url vs httpUrl).
