RSS Feeds MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that lets AI assistants like Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP client fetch, filter, and search RSS feeds. Monitor blogs, track industry news, and research content — all through natural language.

Zero configuration. Install and start reading RSS feeds immediately. No API keys, no authentication.

What Can You Do?

Ask Claude questions like:

• "What are the latest SEO blog posts this week?"
• "Search all feeds for articles about AI marketing"
• "Show me the latest posts from HubSpot"
• "Add TechCrunch to my feeds"
• "What content marketing articles were published today?"

Quick Start

npx rss-feeds-mcp

Or install globally:

npm install -g rss-feeds-mcp

Ships with default feeds — customize your own at ~/.rss-mcp/feeds.json.

Claude Desktop Configuration

Add to your Claude Desktop config (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "rss": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "rss-feeds-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. Done — RSS feeds are now available in Claude.
