Let your agents drive

The Daily FM has a remote MCP server so AI agents (Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, OpenClaw, Hermes, etc.) can manage your account for you: create pods, track shows, combine feeds, and fire episodes, all by conversation.

Tell your agent "find the top influencers in physical AI and robotics and give me a 2-minute recap of what they are saying every day" and it can set the whole thing up.

Create an access token

In Account → Agent Access, name a token (e.g. claude-code) and create it. The token is shown once — copy it right away. Check read-only if the agent should only look, never change anything. You can hold up to 20 active tokens and revoke any of them at any time; the Account page shows when each was last used.

Connect your agent

The endpoint is https://mcp.thedaily.fm/mcp (streamable HTTP), authenticated with your token as a bearer header.

Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http --scope user thedailyfm \
  https://mcp.thedaily.fm/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"

Any other MCP client, in its JSON config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "thedailyfm": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.thedaily.fm/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" }
    }
  }
}

What your agent can do

Tool	What it does
`list_my_pods`	List your pods: config, episode counts, combined pods, feed URLs, and show-tracking progress.
`get_latest_episodes`	Latest episodes for one pod or across all of them, including generation status.
`search_library`	Browse or search the public pod library.
`list_shows`	Real-world podcasts already tracked, with ready-to-paste `pod:` source tokens.
`create_pod`	Create a pod: custom sources, combined feeds, or a private fork of a public pod.
`edit_pod`	Change a pod's title, sources, cadence, length, prompt, or visibility.
`add_to_pod` / `remove_from_pod`	Combine a pod into one of your feeds, or take it back out.
`generate_episode_now`	Fire an episode immediately (plan limits apply).

Read-only tokens expose just the first four.

Things to try

"What's in my Daily FM feed lately?"
"Find the RSS feed for the Lex Fridman podcast and set up a daily recap pod."
"Combine all my pods into one morning feed I can put in Overcast."
