rssmcp

rssmcp is an MCP server that fetches RSS feeds and returns their entries as formatted plain text directly to LLM clients. It connects to RSS feed endpoints defined in an OPML configuration file, allowing models to read, monitor, and process live syndicate updates. Software developers, market researchers, and intelligence analysts use rssmcp to keep AI agents informed about domain-specific news, tech blogs, release notes, and industry newsletters without relying on complex browser scraping setups. By utilizing the Model Context Protocol, the server provides a dedicated retrieval tool that filters feed content by date and feed identifier. Users can inspect the latest published articles, automate daily briefing summaries, cross-reference breaking news against internal databases, and optionally export parsed results directly to local files. The server simplifies multi-feed management by reading standard OPML files, letting users import existing feed subscriptions directly into their local LLM desktop applications and command-line agent environments.

How to install and configure rssmcp

Follow these steps to install and register rssmcp with your MCP client: 1. Automatically install for Claude Desktop using Smithery by running: bash npx -y @smithery/cli install @Lunran/rssmcp --client claude 2. Alternatively, configure the server manually in your client's configuration file (such as claude_desktop_config.json) under mcpServers: json { "mcpServers": { "rssmcp": { "command": "uvx", "args": [ "-U", "rssmcp", "--opml", "path/to/your.opml" ] } } } 3. Replace path/to/your.opml with the local path to your OPML subscription file. 4. Restart your client to apply the changes and access the get_rss tool.

What you can do with rssmcp

• Ingesting updates from technical blogs and release announcements directly into an LLM session for code generation and dependency tracking. - Monitoring competitive news feeds from industry sources by querying recent posts published since a specific date or time. - Automating daily news briefings by prompting Claude to summarize recent entries retrieved across multiple OPML-configured feeds. - Exporting parsed RSS text entries into local files to build structured archives for research and offline agent retrieval workflows.
