How to Set Up and Use MCP RSS Aggregator
MCP RSS Aggregator is a Model Context Protocol server that brings RSS and Atom feed reading into Claude Desktop, letting you query news and content streams through natural language rather than visiting individual sites. It reads feed lists from OPML or JSON files and exposes a single rss tool with sub-commands for fetching the latest articles, filtering by category, querying specific feeds, and finding top-ranked content. Content creators, researchers, and news junkies use it to have Claude summarize, compare, and analyze articles from their existing feed subscriptions.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 16 or higher
- Git to clone the repository
- Claude Desktop installed
- An OPML or JSON file containing your RSS feed subscriptions
- Internet access for live RSS feed fetching
Clone the repository
Clone the mcp-rss-aggregator repository to your local machine. Choose a stable location because the absolute path will be used in your config.
git clone https://github.com/imprvhub/mcp-rss-aggregator
cd mcp-rss-aggregatorInstall dependencies and build
Install the Node.js packages and compile the TypeScript source to the build/ directory.
npm install
npm run buildPrepare your feeds file
Create or locate your RSS feed list in OPML format (exported from any feed reader) or as a JSON array with title, url, htmlUrl, and category fields. Note the absolute path to this file.
Add the server to Claude Desktop configuration
Edit claude_desktop_config.json to add the rssAggregator server. Replace both placeholders with absolute paths โ no tilde or relative paths.
{
"mcpServers": {
"rssAggregator": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/absolute/path/to/mcp-rss-aggregator/build/index.js"],
"feedsPath": "/absolute/path/to/your/feeds.opml"
}
}
}Restart Claude Desktop and test
Restart Claude Desktop completely. Ask it to list your RSS feeds or fetch the latest articles to confirm the server is connected and reading your feeds file.
MCP RSS Aggregator Examples
Client configuration
Claude Desktop configuration for the MCP RSS Aggregator server. Both paths must be absolute. On Windows, use double backslashes in paths.
{
"mcpServers": {
"rssAggregator": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/Users/yourname/mcp-rss-aggregator/build/index.js"],
"feedsPath": "/Users/yourname/feeds/subscriptions.opml"
}
}
}Prompts to try
Sample prompts that use the rss tool's sub-commands to browse and analyze your feed content.
- "Show me the latest 25 articles from all my RSS feeds"
- "What are the top articles from Hacker News today?"
- "Get the 10 most recent articles from my Tech News category"
- "List all the RSS feeds I have configured"
- "Summarize the top 5 stories from my feeds and highlight any that are related to AI"Troubleshooting MCP RSS Aggregator
No articles returned or rss tool not found
Confirm the build/index.js path in your config is the absolute path to the compiled file. Run node /absolute/path/to/build/index.js manually in a terminal to check for startup errors. Also verify the feedsPath points to a valid OPML or JSON file.
Feed articles are empty or show errors for specific feeds
Some RSS feeds block automated user-agents or require authentication. Test a feed URL directly with curl to confirm it returns XML. Invalid feed URLs in your OPML file are skipped silently โ check the URL in your feeds file matches the actual feed endpoint, not the website homepage.
feedsPath not recognized or feeds list is always empty
The feedsPath key sits at the top level of the server config object, not inside the args array. Verify your JSON structure matches the example โ feedsPath should be a sibling of command and args, not nested inside env.
