Show HN: Let your agents create custom pods

The Daily FM launched a remote MCP server that lets AI agents such as Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, and Cursor manage user accounts by creating custom pods, tracking shows, combining feeds, and generating episodes via conversation. Users generate an access token in their account settings, then connect agents to the endpoint https://mcp.thedaily.fm/mcp with bearer authentication, enabling tools like list_my_pods, create_pod, and generate_episode_now.

Let your agents drive The Daily FM has a remote MCP https://modelcontextprotocol.io 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 /account , 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.
