What is the OPML Podcast & RSS Parser MCP Server?
When you want Claude to recommend new podcasts or blogs based on what you already consume, you export an .opml file from Apple Podcasts, Pocket Casts, or Feedly. But XML outlines are noisy, recursive, and confusing for LLMs to read efficiently.
This MCP uses a fast, deterministic XML parser to flatten the OPML hierarchy into a simple, structured list of your subscriptions, dropping all the unnecessary XML tags and attributes.
The Superpowers
- Universal Support: Parses OPML files from any standard podcast player or RSS reader.
- Zero Token Waste: Converts heavy XML markup into a clean, flat JSON array.
- Local Privacy: Your subscription habits are parsed locally, ensuring they aren't uploaded to a public server.
- Assistant Ready: Turn Claude into your personal entertainment and news curator.
Built-in capabilities (1)
Provide the absolute file path. Parse an OPML file (Podcast or RSS feed export) into a clean JSON list of subscriptions

Frequently asked questions
Does it support nested subscription categories?
Yes! It recursively scans through folder nodes (like 'Tech News' -> 'AI') in the OPML file to extract the actual feed URLs, flattening them into a clean list for the AI.
What specific data is extracted?
It extracts the Title, the XML (RSS) URL, and the HTML (Website) URL for every single subscription found in the file.
Can it subscribe to new podcasts for me?
No, this is a read-only parsing tool. It allows the AI to understand what you currently listen to so it can make intelligent recommendations.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
