inoreader-mcp

MCP server for the Inoreader RSS reader API. Lets Claude help you triage articles, analyze feed health, and manage subscriptions.

Setup

1. Create an Inoreader API application

Go to the Inoreader Developer Portal and create a new application.

  • Set the redirect URI to http://localhost:3333/callback

  • Note your Client ID and Client Secret

2. Add to Claude Code

claude mcp add -s user \
  -e INOREADER_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id \
  -e INOREADER_CLIENT_SECRET=your-client-secret \
  inoreader -- npx inoreader-mcp

Or for Claude Desktop, add to your config file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "inoreader": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["inoreader-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "INOREADER_CLIENT_ID": "your-client-id",
        "INOREADER_CLIENT_SECRET": "your-client-secret"
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Authenticate

On first use, ask Claude to call the setup_auth tool. It will give you an OAuth URL to open in your browser. After authorizing, copy the code parameter from the redirect URL and pass it back. Tokens are saved to ~/.config/inoreader-mcp/tokens.json and refresh automatically.
