# RSS and news feeds for agents

> RSS, Atom and JSON feeds for agents: find a site's feed, read items as JSON, keyless news search. Remote MCP server over Streamable HTTP at `https://rssfeedmcp.dev/mcp`. Free, no API key. Tools: `feed_items`, `feed_find`, `news_search`. The tool list is fixed per version.

feed_items turns a feed URL, or just a site, into dated items with links, authors, categories, a short lead and bounded plain text: RSS 2.0, Atom, RDF and JSON Feed 1.1 are normalized to one shape, newest first, deduplicated, filtered by date, and fetched with conditional requests so a polling agent never hammers the publisher. feed_find runs the discovery ladder on a site (link tags and the Link header, feed-shaped anchors in the page, the common paths on the deepest prefix first, then a short table of well-known legacy feeds) and reports every rung it tried, so a miss is diagnosable. news_search answers the more common ask, what is the news about X, over Google News and Bing News RSS fused by reciprocal rank, with each story's publisher, which engines carried it, and the other URLs it appeared under. Free, keyless, no account; one fetch per rung, never a crawler.

Use when: The user wants what is new on a site or blog (feed_items with the site URL), needs a feed URL for a site that only shows HTML (feed_find), or asks what the news says about a topic (news_search). Use instead of scraping listing pages by hand.

Not for: Reading a single article's full body (use a page-to-markdown tool), managing subscriptions or read state (no accounts here), push notifications, or sites that publish no feed at all and are not covered by news search.
