Set up Prends with any AI chat

Copy a prompt, paste the answers back. Your assistant asks the profile questions one at a time and gives you a short text block, and a link when it can. Paste the block or open the link, check your answers and save. No connector, free plans work, and nothing reaches Prends until you press Save.

Copy this prompt.
Paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or any chat assistant, free plans too, and answer its questions.
Paste the text block it gives you in the box below, or open its link. Check your answers and save.

Help me sign up for Prends (prends.app), a free site where podcast guests and hosts find each other. You need no tools. Prends sees nothing until I press Save on its page.

Ask me these one at a time, in plain words. All are optional: if I skip one, leave it out. Never ask for an RSS feed, an email or a password.
1. Am I a podcast guest, a host, or both?
2. My name, one line about me, what I am working on, and a short bio.
3. Topics I talk about, and the languages I can record in.
4. Guests: up to 3 things I can talk about.
5. My time zone or city, when I can usually record, and if I am open to weekends, short notice or in person.
6. Links people can check, such as a website or LinkedIn.
7. Hosts: the show's name and one link, what it is about, who listens, episode length, how often it comes out, if I take guests now, and questions I like to ask guests.

Then always print my answers in this block. One "Key: value" per line, each answer on one line, my own words are fine. Leave out lines I skipped and drop the hints:

END PRENDS PROFILE

After the block, add a link only if you can: https://prends.app/marketplace/start#t= followed by the same block, with every space replaced by %20 and every new line by %0A. If you cannot, skip the link.

Then tell me: open the link, or go to https://prends.app/marketplace/start, paste the block into the box, check my answers and press Save.

No connector and no sign-in to your assistant. Prends never sees your chat, and nothing reaches Prends until you press Save.

Paste from your assistant

Paste the text block your assistant gave you, or its link. Plain words are fine.

Optional: let your assistant manage requests later

Add Prends as a connector and your assistant can find podcasts and guests and handle requests in chat. To set up a profile it only asks to see and update your profile. You choose what it may do, Prends never sees your chats, and you can remove it any time in Connected apps.

Add Prends to Claude

Add to ChatGPT

Using another assistant? Copy this prompt

Connect to the Prends connector at https://prends.app/mcp (add it as a custom connector if you can't call it yet). Then sign me up or sign me in, ask me the Prends onboarding questions one at a time (all optional), save my profile, and show me 3 podcasts or people I should connect with.

To add Prends by hand:

Claude: Customize, Connectors, Add, Add custom connector, paste https://prends.app/mcp
ChatGPT: On the web, open chatgpt.com/plugins, click +, Add custom MCP server, paste the URL, then Create as a plugin and install it

Once it is connected

Ask it to find podcasts or guests, draft a pitch, or check your requests.
Your assistant writes requests and you approve them under Requests. You can let it send without asking in Connected apps.
Everyone's privacy settings, daily limits and reviews apply, the same as on the site. Emails are shared only after a request is accepted.
Ask it to call check_in once a week to keep your Active this week badge. Disconnect any time in Connected apps.

What you will be asked

All optional except guest, host or both. You can answer on the site or let your AI assistant do it.

What guests are asked

Guest, host or both (the only required answer)
One link about you, for example LinkedIn, GitHub, a website or a YouTube channel, so we can fill in the rest
Your name, a one line headline and a short bio
Topics you talk about, up to 8, and the languages you can record in
When you can usually record, and your time zone
Up to three things you can talk about
Links people can check and past podcasts, clips or posts
Whether to show your profile on the Members page, and how you want alerts (email or Telegram)

What hosts are asked

Guest, host or both (the only required answer)
Your show's name and any one link: YouTube channel or video podcast, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, RSS feed or website. No link is fine too
A short description of the show, who listens, the format, episode length and how often it comes out
Topics, up to 8, and the languages the show records in
Whether you are accepting guests now, and when you can usually record
Questions you like to ask guests
Who can send you requests: anyone, or only people who meet a bar you set
How you want alerts (email or Telegram)

For assistants that browse the site

Easiest, with no connector: ask the person the questions below in chat, one at a time, then always print the answers as a plain text block, one "Key: value" per line in plain words. They paste it into the box on /marketplace/start, or open the link /marketplace/start#t= followed by the same block with spaces as %20 and new lines as %0A, if you can write it (the full prompt and spec are on /agents and in /llms-full.txt). They check the answers and save. Nothing reaches Prends before that.
Optional: the MCP server at /mcp on this site (guide: /agents) also lets an assistant handle requests later. Tools: add_my_show lists a show from any link or none; update_my_profile saves the rest. The steps below are for assistants that browse.
To list a show, open /marketplace/start?list=show on this site. It is one form for new shows and shows already on Prends.
Paste any one link: a YouTube channel or video podcast, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, an RSS feed or a website, then press Fill in my show. No link is fine: type the show name instead. An RSS feed is never required.
If Prends asks "Is this your show?", choose it only if the person runs that show. That files a claim a person at Prends reviews. Otherwise keep going: the show is listed as "Listed by host" and can receive requests.
Every question after that is optional. Continue saves the answer, Skip for now moves on.
On the last step the person signs in with one of the buttons shown or a one time email link (today only Google, GitHub or the email link). There is no password and no payment. Prends is free.
Proving the show is theirs is optional and never blocks the listing: on their member page (/marketplace/me opens it), put the shown code in the YouTube channel description, RSS description or website and ask Prends to check; or sign in with the RSS owner email or an email on the website's domain; or ask for a review.
Guests: open /marketplace/start on this site, choose Guest, paste one link about the person, and answer what fits. Everything except the role is optional.

Other assistants and scripts

Any MCP client: add https://prends.app/mcp as a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP). It signs in with OAuth.
With a key instead: create one in Connected apps and send Authorization: Bearer prends_sk_....
No account: https://prends.app/mcp/public searches podcasts without signing in.
Always-on agents: add a webhook in Connected apps to hear about new requests right away.
