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

Tool	What it does
`fetch_feed`	Fetch one RSS/Atom feed → recent items (title, link, date, snippet).
`fetch_many`	Fetch several feeds → one merged, date-sorted list (a digest).

Install

npm install -g feed-reader-mcp

Use with Claude Desktop / Claude Code

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

npm install
npm run build
npm start          # runs over stdio
