How do I get my Hiro.fm API Key?
Log in to your Hiro.fm creator account, navigate to Creator Settings > Integrations, and copy your Bearer Token.
Can I grant access to multiple shows?
Yes, you can use the grant_access tool multiple times for different show_id values to give a contact access to several podcasts.
Does it support adding audio from URLs?
Yes, the add_audio tool requires a direct media URL to the audio file you want to add as a new episode.
How does the OpenAI Agents SDK connect to MCP?
Use MCPServerSse(url=...) to create a server connection. The SDK auto-discovers all tools and makes them available to your agent with full type information.
Can I use multiple MCP servers in one agent?
Yes. Pass a list of MCPServerSse instances to the agent constructor. The agent can use tools from all connected servers within a single run.
