Set it up

  1. Open Customize, then Plugins

    In ChatGPT on the web, open chatgpt.com/plugins — or click the Customize icon in the sidebar, then choose Plugins.

    ChatGPT Customize sidebar with Plugins selected, and the Add button highlighted in the top right.
    Customize → Plugins, then Add (markers 1–3).

  2. Add a custom MCP server

    Click Add, then choose Add custom MCP server.

    ChatGPT Add menu open, with Add custom MCP server highlighted.
    Choose Add custom MCP server from the Add menu.

  3. Fill in Podskrift and create the plugin

    Name: Podskrift. Server URL: https://podskrift.com/mcp. Authentication: OAuth. Tick I understand and want to continue, then click Create as a plugin. 

    https://podskrift.com/mcp
    Add custom MCP server dialog with Name Podskrift, URL https://podskrift.com/mcp, Authentication OAuth, consent ticked, and Create as a plugin highlighted.
    Name, URL, OAuth, consent — then Create as a plugin.

  4. Sign in to Podskrift and Allow

    ChatGPT opens Podskrift’s sign-in. Log in (or create an account), then click Allow. Transcription uses the same minutes as the website.

  5. Try it in a new chat

    Ask for an episode in plain language — for example:

    Summarise the latest episode of Hard Fork

Check that it worked

Podskrift should appear as connected in your app. In a new chat, enable Podskrift from the tools menu. Ask “Use Podskrift to find the latest episode of Hard Fork.” Look for a Podskrift tool call, then ask for a summary or a quote with timestamps.

If the reply says it cannot access podcasts, check that Podskrift is enabled in this conversation. A long episode may need time to transcribe; ask your AI to check the transcription status before summarising.

What you can ask

Copy a prompt and paste it into ChatGPT after Podskrift is connected.

  • Summarise the latest episode of Hard Fork
  • Get the last three episodes of Lenny's Podcast and list every book they mention
  • Find the exact sentence where the guest talks about pricing
  • Transcribe this episode and translate the summary into Norwegian

What it costs

Uses your Podskrift minutes (trial, credit pack, or your own OpenAI key). Episodes you've already transcribed are free to fetch again on your account. Full pricing.

Troubleshooting

  • Sign-in loop — Finish Allow in the Podskrift window; if it keeps bouncing, open Settings → Connected apps after logging in on the website, then try Connect again in ChatGPT.
  • Not available on your plan — Free and Go cannot add custom MCP servers. Pro has read/fetch; full MCP is a Business/Enterprise/Edu beta. If Add custom MCP server is missing, your account cannot add one yet.
  • Revoke access — On Podskrift, go to Settings → Connected apps and revoke ChatGPT. You can reconnect later.
