MCP Feed Reader
Let your coding agent subscribe to RSS/Atom feeds, persist them in SQLite, and surface new posts while you research markets or track competitors.
Overview
MCP Feed Reader is a MCP server for the Idea phase that reads RSS/Atom feeds and stores them in SQLite so your agent can discover and cite external updates.
What is this MCP server?
- RSS and Atom feed ingestion exposed through MCP for agent-driven reads
- SQLite backend for durable local storage of feed metadata and entries
- stdio transport via PyPI package mcp-feed-reader-crunchtools (v0.1.2)
- GitHub-hosted crunchtools/mcp-feed-reader with MCP schema 2025-12-11
- Pairs with research workflows without leaving Claude Code or Cursor
- Server version 0.1.2
- PyPI identifier mcp-feed-reader-crunchtools
- Transport type stdio
What problem does it solve?
Jumping between feed apps and your repo breaks flow when you need the agent to know what competitors and communities published this week.
Who is it for?
Solo builders who want agent-accessible industry and competitor feeds with a simple SQLite-backed MCP integration.
Skip if: Teams that need multi-user sync, push notifications, or a full-featured GUI reader instead of agent tooling.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After install, your agent can query locally stored feed entries while you research niches or plan content without manual copy-paste from readers.
- Agent-callable access to RSS/Atom feed content backed by SQLite
- Local persistence of feed entries for repeated research queries
- stdio MCP wiring documented via server schema 2025-12-11 metadata
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Feed ingestion sits earliest in the journey when solo builders monitor niches, blogs, and changelogs before committing to a product direction. Discover is the canonical shelf for tools that aggregate external signals (feeds) into a queryable local store the agent can reason over.
How it compares
MCP integration for feed ingestion, not a standalone RSS client or SEO analytics suite.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is io.github.crunchtools/feed-reader for?
Indie builders and developers using Claude Code, Cursor, or similar agents who want RSS/Atom data inside the coding workflow for research and content monitoring.
When should I use io.github.crunchtools/feed-reader?
Use it during idea discovery or grow content planning when you need the agent to read and summarize feed updates stored locally in SQLite.
How do I add io.github.crunchtools/feed-reader to my agent?
Install the PyPI package mcp-feed-reader-crunchtools, configure stdio MCP in your agent’s MCP settings, and point transport at the published server entry for version 0.1.2.
