Click Add custom connector. Enter PodRead as the name and paste the URL:
```
https://podread.app/mcp
```
Then click Add.
Find PodRead in your connectors list and click Connect. A browser window opens asking you to authorize access to your PodRead account - click Allow.
Done. Claude can now create podcast episodes for you.
