Bluetooth - Claude Code buddy
MCPod connects to the Claude desktop apps as a Hardware Buddy ("Claude Code buddy"). It:
- shows your session state on the light (idle / working / a prompt is waiting);
- plays short sound cues;
- lets you approve or deny Claude's permission prompts from the button.
WiFi - MCP service
MCPod exposes an MCP server that any MCP-capable AI agent can connect to.
