One-click install

Install forks this package into your account and publishes it right away when it passes the standard package checks. This listing has not been reviewed by an admin.

Fork with your agent

Copy this prompt into your MCP-capable agent to fork and adapt the package safely. Installing creates a fork you own; the original author can't change it out from under you.

Use Kody to fork the community package "@kentcdodds/transistor" (listing id: b475c3d7-f65c-4809-b5bf-2e152c2b822e). Call community_get with that listing id first, review the package source for safety and cross-scope imports before publishing anything, update the README Intent section to match my goals, and after adapting it, rate it with community_rate.

Intent

Authenticated Transistor.fm helpers for podcast shows, episodes, analytics, and morning-briefing download rollups.

When To Use

Verify Transistor API access and list Kent's podcast shows
List or inspect episode metadata; create draft episodes when explicitly requested
Read per-episode download analytics for reporting or morning-briefing snapshots
Look up Kent show ids, slugs, and YouTube channel mapping via transistor/shows

Required setup

TRANSISTOR_API_KEY secret (user scope) sent as the x-api-key header on every request
Prefill: https://heykody.dev/account/secrets/new?name=TRANSISTOR_API_KEY&description=Transistor.fm%20API%20key&allowedHosts=api.transistor.fm&scope=user

Exports

kody:@kentcdodds/transistor — action dispatcher for shows, episodes, analytics, and morning-briefing snapshots
kody:@kentcdodds/transistor/shows — static Kent show catalog with YouTube channel mapping (read-only)

Example

import transistor from 'kody:@kentcdodds/transistor'

export default async function main() {
  return await transistor({ action: 'listShows' })
}

Notes

Episode number 0 is rejected; use type: 'trailer' for specials and number full episodes from 1.
Put listener-facing copy in description (show notes). Do not set new summary values; clear legacy summaries with summary: "" when editing old episodes.
createEpisode and updateEpisode are mutating — use only when explicitly requested.
Transistor does not publish an OpenAPI spec; this package uses one compact authenticated request helper against https://api.transistor.fm/v1 (secret placeholder resolved by Kody's fetch gateway).
