[](https://www.npmjs.com/package/rss-mcp)
This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server built with TypeScript. It provides a versatile tool to fetch and parse any standard RSS/Atom feed, and also includes special support for RSSHub feeds. With this server, language models or other MCP clients can easily retrieve structured content from various web sources.
The server comes with a built-in list of public RSSHub instances and supports a polling mechanism to automatically select an available instance, significantly improving the success rate and stability of data retrieval.
✨ Features
- Universal Feed Parsing: Fetch and parse any standard RSS/Atom feed from a given URL.
- Enhanced RSSHub Support: Provides a tool named
get_feedto fetch any RSSHub-supported feed via MCP, with multi-instance support. - Customizable Item Count: Specify the number of feed items to retrieve, with support for fetching all items.
- Multi-instance Support: Includes a list of public RSSHub instances and automatically polls to find an available service.
- Smart URL Parsing: Supports standard RSSHub URLs and a simplified
rsshub://protocol format. - Priority Instance Configuration: Allows setting a preferred RSSHub instance via the
PRIORITY_RSSHUB_INSTANCEenvironment variable. - Robust Error Handling: If a request to one instance fails, it automatically tries the next one until it succeeds or all instances have failed.
- Content Cleaning: Uses Cheerio to clean the feed content and extract plain text descriptions.
- Standardized Output: Converts the fetched RSS feed into a structured JSON format.

Questions
What is the RSS MCP server?
This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server built with TypeScript. It provides a versatile tool to fetch and parse any standard RSS/Atom feed, and also includes special support for RSSHub feeds.
What tools does RSS expose?
1 in total: 1 read-only, 0 that write, and 0 that can delete or overwrite. Every one is listed on this page with its risk.
Is RSS safe to connect to an agent?
The audit found nothing in the source that contradicts what it says it does, and graded it B (89/100). Grade A is held back for packages that have also passed a sandboxed behavioural run, which is why a clean server reads B.
What credentials does RSS need?
No credential environment variables were found in its source, so it appears to need none.
How does RSS run?
It speaks stdio, so it runs as a local process your client starts. It is published on npm as rss-mcp at 1.0.1.
How current is this page?
The grade is for one exact copy of the source (8c1fb178c028), read on 2026-10-08. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
