MCP Protocol

The server implements the Message Chain Protocol (MCP) which allows LLMs to access your latest RSS feeds. The MCP endpoint accepts POST requests with a JSON body containing a messages array and returns a response with the latest feed items.

Example request:

{ "messages": [ { "role": "user", "content": "What are the latest news from my RSS feeds?" } ] }

Example response:

{ "messages": [ { "role": "assistant", "content": "Here are the latest articles from your RSS feeds:", "name": "rss-mcp" }, { "role": "tool", "content": "[{\"title\":\"Article Title\",\"summary\":\"Article summary...\",\"published\":\"2025-03-16T04:30:00.000Z\",\"origin\":\"Feed Name\",\"link\":\"https://example.com/article\"}]", "name": "rss-feeds" } ] }

Configuration Options

The server can be configured through environment variables or a .env file:

  • PORT - Server port (default: 5556)
  • FIRECRAWL_API_KEY - Firecrawl API key
  • DB_DIR - Database directory (default: ~/.mcp-rss-crawler)

Troubleshooting

  • For connection issues, check your network settings and firewall configuration
  • Logs are available in the console and can be used to diagnose problems
  • For more detailed logging, set the DEBUG=mcp-rss:* environment variable
