What your assistant can do

Real catalog data from goldie.fm — the same public browse surface listeners already use.

Search the catalog
Hybrid Meilisearch + Postgres search over episodes, shows, people, sponsors, and networks — with themes, mood, and notability filters when the index is live.
Shows, cast & sponsors
Full show hubs (summary, FAQs, years, facets), episode credits, cast/host/sponsor/network associations, and related titles — same SSOT as goldie.fm.
Browse & merchandising
Genres, moods, themes, tags, people, sponsors, networks, start-here classics, and trending shelves.
Radio calendar
Time-machine any air date: what played that day, with historical context and listen links.
Honest product truth
Pricing and free vs Pro matrix so assistants never invent a catalog paywall. Pro is tools; the archive is free.
Same API as apps
MCP tools call the Fastify catalog at api.goldie.fm. Use HTTP when you need raw JSON; use MCP for tool-calling hosts.

Tools are read-only. Assistants must not invent episode URLs — only cite paths returned by tools. Catalog browse is free; unlimited streaming needs a free account; Goldie Pro is convenience tools, not a content paywall.
