The RSS Feed MCP Server lets Claude access and process RSS and Atom feeds through the Model Context Protocol, enabling you to register, manage, and retrieve feeds from a centralized MCP endpoint.

How to use

To use this MCP server with your MCP client, start by running the server locally and then configure your client to connect to it. You can register feeds, list your registered feeds, fetch and parse feeds, and remove feeds as needed. Administrative actions such as adding a new feed are done through the available commands exposed by the server, and all feed data can be retrieved in a single request per your configured limits.

You can fetch a feed by providing the feed URL and optional parameters to limit the number of items and whether to include full article content. You can also list all registered feeds or add and remove feeds to tailor what Claude can access.

How to install

# Prerequisites
- Node.js and npm or npx available on your system

# Install and run the server
npx rss-feed-mcp-server

Optionally run in debug mode to troubleshoot connections and feed parsing behavior by adding the --debug flag.

Additional notes

The server stores its configuration in the user’s config directory at ~/.config/rss-feed-mcp/config.json. You can customize defaults such as the number of items to fetch per request, timeouts, and the user agent string.
