# mcp-morning-brief

> Subscribe to RSS/Atom feeds. Get a deduped daily brief. **Feeds in, structured brief out, no UI.** Free, MIT.

Existing news/RSS MCPs either dump raw items or require paid APIs. **`mcp-morning-brief` is the opinionated "morning brief" shape** — exactly what pairs with a daily Claude Desktop chat.

## Why this exists

People feel guilty about not reading their RSS reader. This server reframes RSS as a **conversation accessory** — Claude pulls your morning brief at the start of your daily chat.

Zero deps beyond `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk`. Parses RSS 2.0 + Atom with regex (handles 95% of feeds). Stores feed list locally as JSON. No API keys. No cloud sync.
