Agents and MCP

Your agent drafts it.
You send it.

A weekly issue is many small jobs: gather, write, picture, tag, describe. One request to your agent covers them all, and you send the email from the publish page once you have read it.

Say it to your agent

Write this week's issue from the five links below, in the same shape as last week's, with the photo I attach as the cover. Leave it as a draft.

  • list_posts
  • get_post
  • create_post
  • start_editing_post

Two ways to do it.

By hand

In the admin

  1. Open the draft your agent left in Posts and read it in the editor.
  2. Press Publish. Under Publish to, choose Site and email, and pick the Email design.
  3. Press Send a test to me to see it in your inbox, then press Next.
  4. Choose the Newsletter, narrow it with Labels if you want, and choose When: Now, or Later with a time.
  5. Press Publish.

Publishing and sending need an editor's role or higher.

With your agent

In Claude, ChatGPT or your editor

Find last week's issue tagged Weekly and read it, so this one follows the same shape.

Write this week's issue from the five links below, with a short intro and a paragraph on each. Leave it as a draft.

Upload the photo I attach as the cover, tag the issue Weekly, and write its meta description.

The tools it calls

  • list_posts
  • get_post
  • create_post
  • start_editing_post
  • upload_media
  • set_feature_image
  • update_post_settings
  • finish_editing_post

No agent tool sends an email. publish_post puts a post on the site alone, and a post already out on the site is not emailed after. For an issue that goes by email, the agent leaves the draft, and you send it from the publish page.

For example

  • A food newsletter's Friday

    A food writer pastes the week's best links into Claude on Thursday night. On Friday morning she reads the draft over coffee and sends it to her list.

  • The swell report

    A surf club's agent drafts the weekend report from the forecasts the secretary pastes in, with the beach photo as the cover.

  • An analyst's digest

    An analyst's agent writes the weekly digest in the shape of the last one, tags it Weekly and leaves it for him to send to paying members.

Questions, answered

Can my agent send my newsletter on PixelGlass?
No. No PixelGlass agent tool sends an email. The agent writes the draft, and an editor sends it from the publish page with Site and email or Email.
Can the agent schedule the post?
Yes, for the site alone. An editor's agent schedules a post with publish_post and a time. An issue that goes by email is scheduled from the publish page, under When.
Can the agent follow the shape of last week's issue?
Yes. It finds last week's issue with list_posts and reads it as Markdown with get_post, then writes the new one the same way.
Will I see the agent working on the issue?
Yes. An agent that calls start_editing_post shows in the editor as writing the post, and while you have the post open, its writes are refused.
Does PixelGlass start my agent every week?
No. The issue starts when you ask your agent for it.
