FAQ from feed-mcp

Can I use feed-mcp without Docker?

Yes. You can install via Homebrew (brew install richardwooding/tap/feed-mcp), Go Install (go install github.com/richardwooding/feed-mcp@latest), or download the MCP Bundle for one-click setup in Claude Desktop.

Why is my feed not updating?

Feeds are cached for 10 minutes by default. Wait a few minutes and try again, or restart Claude Desktop to clear the cache.

How do I read local or private IP feeds?

By default, localhost and private IP feeds are blocked for security. Use the --allow-private-ips flag when running feed-mcp.

What transport protocols does feed-mcp support?

The default transport is stdio (standard input/output) for local use. It also supports streamable-http for web deployments (optionally with stateless mode) and the deprecated http-with-sse for backwards compatibility.
