# Hiro.fm MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > Hiro.fm MCP lets you manage private audio feeds and listener access using your AI agent. It handles everything from adding new podcast episodes to granting specific show access for your members or students. Instead of jumping between dashboards, you can use your AI client to organize your audience, monitor show stats, and automate your audio distribution workflow. ## Overview - **Category:** marketing-automation - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_sjKBJBURRstdOQNZ8lA38ZQOboDZskYOm2f404dP/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** podcasting, audio-content, creator-economy, access-control, subscription-management, digital-distribution ## Description Managing a private podcast feels like a full-time job when you're trying to scale. You have to juggle listener permissions, manually upload files, and keep your database organized just to make sure the right people hear the right content. This Connector changes that by turning your AI agent into a dedicated podcast producer. Instead of clicking through complex creator dashboards, you just tell your agent what needs to happen. You can have it grant access to new subscribers immediately after they sign up or push new audio episodes to specific shows with a simple command. It handles the heavy lifting of audience segmentation and metadata management so you can focus on actually creating content. By connecting Hiro.fm to your workspace via Vinkius, you move away from manual data entry and toward a system where your audio distribution happens in the background. You get a cleaner way to manage private shows, whether you're running a paid membership, a high-ticket course, or a private corporate training series. It's about making your audio platform work for you, rather than you working for your platform. ## Tools ### create_contact Add a new listener to your database.

The agent uses revoke_access on the old show and grant_access on the new one. ### Bulk Content Uploads A producer gives the agent 10 URLs. The agent uses add_audio to populate 10 different shows in one go. ### Audience Segmentation Cleanup A marketer asks the agent to find all contacts without a VIP tag using list_contacts and list_tags. ## Benefits - Automated Onboarding: Use grant_access to give new members immediate entry to your shows without manual intervention. - Faster Content Updates: Use add_audio to push new episodes to your feeds instantly via your AI client. - Better Audience Organization: Use list_tags and create_contact to segment your listeners for more targeted content. - Real-time Show Audits: Use list_shows and get_show to keep track of subscriber counts and show IDs in one place. - Easy Permission Management: Use revoke_access to handle membership cancellations or tiered access changes quickly. ## How It Works The bottom line is you get a hands-off way to manage your private audio distribution without leaving your workspace. 1.
