About Rss MCP

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_feed to 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_INSTANCE environment 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.
