SponsorBoard

What SponsorBoard does

SponsorBoard gives MCP-compatible AI clients access to recorded podcast sponsorship information organized by trade. A trade board represents a business category, such as vacation rental, restaurant operations, or legal practice. Each board contains public sponsor names and the shows associated with that category.

The service is suited to research tasks involving podcast advertisers. An agent can discover which companies appear in a particular trade, check how broadly a company sponsors shows, review the dates when sponsorships were observed, and retrieve selected offers or promo codes recorded for that company.

How it works

The server exposes four MCP tools. Start with list_trades to see available trade boards. Each result includes the board key, the number of companies recorded as buying ads on shows in that trade, and the number of sponsor names that are public.

Pass a board key to get_trade_board to retrieve public sponsor names for that trade. Results include the number of shows associated with each name, the longest observed sponsorship run, the most recent observed date, and the shows included on the board. Free boards return a sample of sponsor names rather than the full set.

To investigate a company, use search_sponsors with a name or domain. For example, a search can use squarespace or stayfi.com. The tool returns up to 10 matches and their domains. A returned domain can then be passed to get_sponsor, which provides the company's observed shows, first and last observation dates, trade boards where its name is public, selected recorded offers, and recorded promo codes.

Tools and capabilities

• list_trades: Enumerate trade boards and show company and public-name counts.
• get_trade_board: Inspect public sponsors, show coverage, observed runs, dates, and board shows.
• search_sponsors: Find public sponsorship records by company name or domain, with up to 10 matches.
• get_sponsor: Retrieve one company's observed shows, dates, public trade boards, offers, and promo codes.

Limitations and notes

SponsorBoard reports recorded observations rather than a complete history of every podcast advertisement. Its trade-board results focus on public sponsor names, and free boards provide only a sample. Company searches are limited to 10 matches per request. Sponsorship dates describe the first and last observed appearances, while offers and promo codes are limited to the selected records available for that company.
