Overview

What is MCP-RSS-Crawler?

MCP-RSS-Crawler is an MCP (Message Chain Protocol) server that fetches RSS feeds, caches them in a SQLite database, and shares the latest articles with LLMs via the MCP protocol. It is designed for developers and users who want LLMs to access real-time or curated RSS feed content.

How to use MCP-RSS-Crawler?

Clone the repository, configure a claude_desktop_config.json with the path to Bun, the server script, and environment variables (PORT, DB_DIR, FIRECRAWL_API_KEY). Install dependencies with bun install, then start Claude Desktop. The MCP endpoint accepts POST requests with a JSON body containing a messages array.

Frequently asked questions

1

What are the runtime dependencies?

Bun runtime and a Firecrawl API key are required. The server can run with Claude Desktop or any MCP‑compatible client.

2

How are the feeds stored and where does data live?

Feeds are cached in a local SQLite database. The database directory defaults to `~/.mcp-rss-crawler` and can be changed via the `DB_DIR` environment variable.

3

What transport protocol does the server use?

The MCP protocol uses HTTP POST requests. The server listens on a configurable port (default 5556) and expects JSON payloads with a `messages` array.

4

How is authentication handled?

The server requires a Firecrawl API key set via the `FIRECRAWL_API_KEY` environment variable. No other authentication mechanisms are documented.

5

Are there any known limitations?

The README advises checking network settings and firewall for connection issues. Detailed logging can be enabled with `DEBUG=mcp-rss:*`.
