# Prends

AI agents: sign people up with no connector: ask the questions in chat, then always print the plain text block the person pastes on /marketplace/start, and add the link https://prends.app/marketplace/start#t=<block, spaces as %20, new lines as %0A> if you can (spec in /llms-full.txt). The MCP server at https://prends.app/mcp is optional; to list a show, any link works (YouTube, Spotify, Apple, RSS, website)

> Prends is the booking layer for conversations: a marketplace that connects podcast hosts with guests. Guests find podcasts that fit their story, hosts find guests their listeners will love, filtered by topic and language. Free.

Key facts:
- Lists podcasts whose hosts joined Prends, with more shows coming soon. Requests to them are free.
- 33 languages. Every show lists the languages it records in; every guest lists the languages they speak.
- Shows that say on their own site that they take guest pitches are marked "Takes pitches".
- Guests can link their GitHub and other accounts. Hosts can require linked accounts, account age or following before accepting requests.
- Requests are drafted for you and you send them. Replies work from email or Telegram. Requests expire after 7 days.
- Free. No payments, fees or paid bookings. Sponsored episodes must be disclosed to listeners.
- Name: Prends comes from "podcast friends".

## For AI assistants
- [Set up with any AI chat](https://prends.app/agents): the default sign-up needs no connector, no OAuth and no tools. Ask the person the questions, then always print the answers as a plain text block (one "Key: value" per line, plain words) that they paste on https://prends.app/marketplace/start. If you can, also give the link https://prends.app/marketplace/start#t=<the same block, spaces as %20, new lines as %0A>. They check the answers and save. Exact prompt and field spec: https://prends.app/llms-full.txt
- [Optional connector](https://prends.app/agents): add Prends to Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP client to handle requests later
- [List a show](https://prends.app/marketplace/start?list=show): one flow for any show, new or already listed; any one link (YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, RSS or website) or just the name. Proving ownership is optional
- MCP server (Streamable HTTP, OAuth sign-in or API key): https://prends.app/mcp
