Lenny's Podcast MCP server

This is a small helper that lets your AI assistant search through every episode of Lenny's Podcast. You ask a question in plain words, and it finds what guests actually said about product management, strategy, or careers. It is handy if you work in product and want real quotes instead of generic advice.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI something like what does Brian Chesky say about design. The AI passes your question to this helper. The helper searches a local copy of every podcast transcript and finds the most relevant moments. It sends back the speaker, the episode, the date, and a YouTube link that jumps to the exact second. Your AI then shows you the quote and the link in the chat.
