Allows fetching and reading RSS/Atom feeds, enabling AI agents to stay current with feeds from blogs, news sites, and release notes.
Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@feed-reader-mcp Fetch the latest 5 items from https://hnrss.org/frontpage"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
An MCP server that fetches and reads RSS / Atom feeds, so any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, etc.) can pull the latest items from blogs, news sites, and release feeds — and build digests.
LLM clients can't reliably read RSS on their own. This server exposes two simple tools so an agent can stay current with the feeds you care about (release notes, news, blogs) without scraping.

Tool | What it does |
| Fetch one RSS/Atom feed → recent items (title, link, date, snippet). |
| Fetch several feeds → one merged, date-sorted list (a digest). |
npm install -g feed-reader-mcpAdd to your MCP config (claude_desktop_config.json or .mcp.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"feed-reader": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "feed-reader-mcp"]
}
}
}Then ask: "Use feed-reader to get the latest 5 items from https://hnrss.org/frontpage" or "Build a digest from these three feeds…".
npm install
npm run build

Scored across 2 tools
The two tools have clearly distinct purposes: fetch_feed retrieves a single feed, while fetch_many fetches multiple feeds and merges them. There is no ambiguity about which tool to use based on the input.
Both tools follow the verb_noun pattern with 'fetch' as the verb. While 'many' is not a traditional noun, the prefix 'fetch_' is consistent and the second part clearly indicates the number of feeds, making the naming predictable.
With only two tools, the server feels minimal. For a feed reader, one might expect additional operations like adding, listing, or removing feeds, but as a simple fetching utility, the count is borderline acceptable.
The tools cover the core functionality of fetching a single feed and fetching multiple feeds for a digest. Minor gaps include no ability to fetch feed metadata or manage subscriptions, but for the stated purpose of parsing and returning items, it is largely complete.
