Episode 105 •Who's Watching Your AI Agents?
Scott's guest is Donnie Adams of Obot AI, who demos Obot's open-source platform for managing MCP servers, access, and audit logs. Plus supply chain worries, the road from Rancher to Obot, and why talking about AI isn't going away.
The brew
Peter’s away, so Scott is joined by Donnie Adams of Obot AI. Donnie drinks Southern Tier Maple Warlock, an imperial pumpkin stout that’s a little sweet but not too thick for the style, and gives it a thumbs up. Scott’s Ancestry Irish Red tastes exactly like the can says: light-bodied, malty, caramel, and a touch of roast. Thumbs up.
Donnie then demos Obot, the open-source platform his team builds for managing MCP servers: combining servers into one virtual MCP, sharing a setup across a company while everyone signs in with their own accounts, pinned and rehosted server images, audit logs, and device management for the coding agents on company laptops.
After that: why agents love installing packages, how the team behind Rancher and K3s went from Acorn to Obot, the dot-com bubble, The AI Doc on Netflix, whether Silicon Valley has gone evil, and why a seven-month-old can’t look away from a phone screen.
