How to Use the Miniflux (RSS Reader) MCP in Windsurf

Q: How do I connect the Miniflux (RSS Reader) MCP Server to Windsurf?

Open your /.codeium/windsurf/mcpconfig.json file and add the server configuration under the mcpServers key. Cascade automatically reads the available tools upon restarting the IDE.

Q: Can Cascade automatically mark articles as read using Miniflux (RSS Reader) in Windsurf?

Yes, Cascade uses updateentriesstatus to change the state of multiple articles simultaneously. You can prompt the agent to mark everything under a specific category as read based on custom rules.

Q: How does the agent handle article extraction?

The server runs fetchentrycontent to pull the full text of an article directly into your Windsurf workspace. This allows Cascade to parse the actual content of the post rather than just the summary.

Q: Can I import my existing OPML subscription list?

Yes, the importopml tool processes your XML subscription files directly through the agent. Windsurf passes the file contents to the server, which populates your database instantly.

Let Cascade browse, filter, and organize your subscriptions inside Windsurf with this Miniflux (RSS Reader) MCP Server.

Perplexity

Auto-categorize fresh articles with Cascade

`list_entries` pulls your unread articles directly into the Windsurf environment so Cascade can analyze the text. The agent reads the context of each feed entry, determines its relevance to your active projects, and runs `update_entries_status` to clear out the noise. You do not have to manually click through hundreds of feeds to find technical updates. Cascade chains these tools to keep your reading list clean based on your current coding focus.

Clean up dead links using this MCP Server

`list_feeds` extracts your current subscriptions to let the agent check for broken endpoints or stale content. Cascade runs `refresh_feed` on each item, catches connection timeouts, and executes `delete_feed` on feeds that have not published in over a year. This automated maintenance keeps your database light. Instead of clicking through a web UI to prune dead sites, you let your IDE handle the cleanup in the background.

Build targeted reading lists on the fly

`create_category` groups incoming feeds based on specific technical topics you are researching in Windsurf. Cascade scans your current workspace directory, discovers relevant blogs using `discover_subscriptions`, and instantly adds them to your reader with `create_feed`. Your IDE builds a customized news environment tailored to your current codebase. This MCP Server keeps your workspace updated with industry changes without leaving your editor.
