RSS MCP Server

An MCP server that lets AI assistants subscribe to, fetch, search, and manage RSS feeds. Built with TypeScript and SQLite with full-text search.

Inspiration

Inspired by Andrej Karpathy's post on reclaiming your information diet:

"Finding myself going back to RSS/Atom feeds a lot more recently. There's a lot more higher quality longform and a lot less slop intended to provoke... We should bring back RSS - it's open, pervasive, hackable."

Quick start with curated feeds: Import the Most Popular Blogs of Hacker News 2025 OPML file to get 92 high-quality tech blogs:

import the OPML file from https://gist.github.com/emschwartz/e6d2bf860ccc367fe37ff953ba6de66b

Claude will automatically use the import_opml tool to add all feeds.

Features

• Subscribe to RSS/Atom feeds and fetch new posts
• Full-text search across titles, summaries, and content (FTS5)
• Extract clean article content from web pages (Readability)
• Import feeds in bulk from OPML files
• Track read/unread state
• Daily digest for compact summaries
• HackerNews popularity ranking for posts
• Conditional HTTP requests (ETag/Last-Modified) and per-feed rate limiting
