Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

feed-reader-mcp

v0.1.0

Published

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

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

| 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
