OmniWire-MCP

OmniWire MCP Server ⚡️

Release License MCP

OmniWire-MCP is a production-ready, fault-tolerant news aggregation server built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It bridges the gap between AI models and real-time information by providing a unified interface for consuming RSS, Atom, JSON, and HTML feeds.

Designed for resilience, it features a Sentinel Service with Circuit Breakers to handle failing sources gracefully and a Universal Parser that automatically adapts to different content formats.


✨ Features

  • Universal Parsing: Automatically detects and parses RSS, Atom, JSON, and HTML content.

  • Sentinel Architecture: Intelligent Circuit Breakers monitor source health, preventing cascading failures.

  • Dynamic Configuration: Hot-reload sources via remote JSON config (RSS_FEEDS) or fallback to local defaults.

  • Data Normalization: Transforms diverse feed formats into a standardized NewsItem schema.

  • AI-Native: Exposes specialized Tools and Prompts optimized for LLM consumption.

  • Zero-Config Deployment: Runs instantly via npx or Docker.

🚀 Quick Start

Using npx (Global)

Prerequisite: The package must be published to NPM or installed globally.

npx omniwire-mcp

Local Testing (Without Publishing)

If you are developing locally and want to test the npx command:

  1. Link the package globally:

    cd OmniWire-MCP
    npm link
  2. Run with npx:

    npx omniwire-mcp

Custom Configuration

You can configure the server in two ways:

  1. Remote URL: Provide a URL to a JSON configuration file.

    RSS_FEEDS="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/furkankoykiran/OmniWire-MCP/refs/heads/main/src/config/defaults/feeds.json" npx omniwire-mcp
  2. Direct JSON: Pass the configuration JSON directly as a string.

    RSS_FEEDS='{"sources": [...]}' npx omniwire-mcp

📦 Installation & Publishing

To make npx omniwire-mcp available to everyone:

  1. Login to NPM:

    npm login
  2. Publish the package:

    npm publish --access public

Option 1: Docker (Cloud/Production)

The server is Docker-ready for easy deployment.

# Build the image
docker build -t omniwire-mcp .

# Run with custom config
docker run -e RSS_FEEDS="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/furkankoykiran/OmniWire-MCP/refs/heads/main/src/config/defaults/feeds.json" omniwire-mcp

Option 2: Local Development

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/furkankoykiran/OmniWire-MCP.git
    cd OmniWire-MCP
  2. Install dependencies and build:

    npm install
    npm run build
  3. Run the server:

    npm start

    TDQS

    C2/5.0

    Scored across 4 tools

    Disambiguation4/5

    Tool names suggest distinct actions: fetch-news, check-health, refresh-config, and reset-source. Some potential overlap between refresh-config and reset-source, but overall they appear to target different resources. Without descriptions, ambiguity is low but not zero.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    All tools use a consistent lowercase hyphenated verb_noun pattern (fetch-news, check-health, refresh-config, reset-source). No mixing of conventions or case styles.

    Tool Count5/5

    Four tools is a reasonable and focused set for a server. It is neither too sparse nor too large, fitting a typical small-to-medium integration.

    Completeness3/5

    Only four tools are exposed, covering news fetching, health check, config refresh, and source reset. Missing obvious operations like managing news items (create, update, delete) or configuration viewing, which may limit agent capabilities.
