Overview

AI-generated overview

Local MCP server that fetches RSS/Atom feeds so an assistant can pull recent items from blogs, news and release feeds and build digests.

What you can do
  • Fetch a single RSS/Atom feed and return recent items with title, link, date and snippet
  • Fetch several feeds at once and return one merged, date-sorted list as a digest
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to stay current with specific blogs, news sites or release-note feeds without scraping pages, and to assemble periodic digests from a set of feeds.
Requirements
Runs as a local stdio process installed from the npm package feed-reader-mcp (for example via npx). Needs Node.js and network access to reach the feed URLs. No accounts, API keys or environment variables are declared.
Before you install
The assistant sends whatever feed URLs you give it over the network, so only point it at feeds you are comfortable fetching. Feed content is third-party text returned to the model, so treat it as untrusted input. No credentials or write actions are declared.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Feed Reader in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

README

feed-reader-mcp

An MCP server that fetches and reads RSS / Atom feeds, so any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, etc.) can pull the latest items from blogs, news sites, and release feeds — and build digests.

Why

LLM clients can't reliably read RSS on their own. This server exposes two simple tools so an agent can stay current with the feeds you care about (release notes, news, blogs) without scraping.

Tools

ToolWhat it does
fetch_feedFetch one RSS/Atom feed → recent items (title, link, date, snippet).
fetch_manyFetch several feeds → one merged, date-sorted list (a digest).

Install

bash
npm install -g feed-reader-mcp

Use with Claude Desktop / Claude Code

Add to your MCP config (claude_desktop_config.json or .mcp.json):

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "feed-reader": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "feed-reader-mcp"]    }  }}

Then ask: "Use feed-reader to get the latest 5 items from https://hnrss.org/frontpage" or "Build a digest from these three feeds…".

Develop

bash

50% of the applicable checks met

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.

  • Reached in the last 30 days25 pts

    Keep the endpoint answering the MCP handshake; SourceWeft probes it every 30 days.

  • Auth declared10 pts

    Declare the credential headers in the registry entry, or keep the endpoint answering the probe so its auth can be classified.
