Are specific RSS/Atom formats parsed incorrectly?

The tool uses modern XML parsers logically built to consume seamlessly both widely structured and legacy encoded Atom and standard RSS payloads perfectly consistently directly from organic sources mitigating rendering discrepancies.

What is the difference between `read_feed` and `read_default_feed`?

`read_feed` requires you to provide a URL each time you call it. `read_default_feed` uses a pre-configured URL so you can check your favorite source without repeating the address every time.

How many articles can I retrieve per request?

You can fetch between 1 and 50 items per call using the `limit` parameter. The default is 10 if no limit is specified.

About RSS / Atom Reader MCP Server

Connect your conversational assistant to read and analyze data natively from any RSS or Atom feed. This simple but powerful integration acts as an instant news parser, transforming massive external XML news feeds into summarized text right inside the interface.

The OpenAI Agents SDK auto-discovers all 2 tools from RSS / Atom Reader through native MCP integration. Build agents with built-in guardrails, tracing, and handoff patterns — chain multiple agents where one queries RSS / Atom Reader, another analyzes results, and a third generates reports, all orchestrated through the Vinkius.

What you can do

Scan Any Feed Instantly — Point the assistant directly to a custom URL (read_feed) to retrieve the top 10 to 50 latest news articles without changing tabs or formatting logic.
Configure a Default Feed — Skip typing URLs and set up an overarching operational default source (read_default_feed), simplifying daily check-ins like reading standard tech blogs, release notes, or internal company updates automatically parsed.

The RSS / Atom Reader MCP Server exposes 2 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to OpenAI Agents SDK in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
