Security Report

7.7

Moderate7.7Low Risk

This is a thin MCP wrapper that reads APIFY_TOKEN from the environment and sends the caller's search inputs to the Apify API over HTTPS, which matches its stated purpose. No malicious patterns, hardcoded credentials, shell execution, or data exfiltration to unrelated hosts were found. The only notable points are informational: billing exposure on a paid, open-world tool and a few minor input-validation and error-detail observations. Supply chain analysis found 1 known vulnerability in dependencies (0 critical, 1 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.

Podcast Guest and Host Finder MCP Server

An MCP server for the Mamba Labs Podcast Guest and Host Finder actor on Apify. Give it a topic, or Apple Podcasts links and RSS feeds. Each run returns one row per show with what you need to pitch it.

What it does

Each row carries the host, the owner name and email the show publishes in its own RSS feed, episode count and cadence, an active flag, the share of episodes that name a guest, recent guest names (from podcast:person tags or episode titles), companies named beside guests, and the contact and be a guest pages on the show website. Shows come from the Apple Podcasts catalog for a topic, or from the links you give. A show whose feed cannot be read comes back free with Apple catalog fields only.

All of the work runs on Apify. This package is a thin client that starts the actor run, waits for it, and hands back the dataset rows.

Quick start

You need Node.js 18 or newer and an Apify account with an API token.

Add this to your Claude Desktop config (claude_desktop_config.json), Cursor, or any MCP client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mamba-podcast-guest-host-finder": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@mambalabsdev/mcp-podcast-guest-host-finder"
      ],
      "env": {
        "APIFY_TOKEN": "your-apify-token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart the client. The find_podcasts tool appears.

Prerequisites

Node.js 18 or newer.
An Apify API token from console.apify.com/account/integrations, set as APIFY_TOKEN. The server lists its tool without a token; a call needs one.

"Find 25 active B2B sales podcasts that interview guests, with the host email and the be a guest page."
"Who were the recent guests on these three podcasts, and which companies were they from?"
"List SaaS marketing podcasts that published in the last 90 days."
