What is the RSS Feed Parser MCP Server?
Your content marketing agent needs to monitor 20 competitor blogs, 5 industry news feeds, and 3 podcast channels. Without a parser, it scrapes HTML — inconsistent, slow, and full of noise.
RSS and Atom feeds are the web's native content API. This MCP parses them into clean JSON objects with titles, links, publication dates, authors, categories, and full content — ready for summarization, curation, or automated distribution.
The Superpowers
- RSS 2.0 + Atom: Both formats parsed identically into a unified JSON structure.
- Full Content: Extracts title, link, date, author, categories, enclosures (podcasts), and content/summary.
- No Scraping: Clean, structured data from the feed XML — no HTML parsing, no DOM traversal.
- Podcast Ready: Enclosure extraction for audio/video URLs, durations, and file sizes.
Built-in capabilities (1)
Pass the raw XML string and receive a structured JSON with feed metadata and up to 20 items. This is essential for content marketing agents monitoring blogs, news aggregators, and podcast feeds. Never try to parse XML manually — use this engine for deterministic extraction. Parses RSS 2.0 and Atom feed XML into structured JSON objects. Extracts title, description, items with links, dates, categories, and content snippets
Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings RSS Feed Parser data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 1 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
- —
VS Code is used by over 70% of developers. adding MCP tools to Copilot means your team can leverage external data without leaving their primary editor
- —
Project-scoped MCP configs (
.vscode/mcp.json) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access - —
Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop
- —
GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services

Every tool call from VS Code Copilot to the RSS Feed Parser MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
Does it work with podcast feeds?
Yes. Podcast RSS feeds include enclosure elements with audio/video URLs, MIME types, and file sizes. The parser extracts all of them.
Can it handle both RSS 2.0 and Atom?
Yes. Both formats are auto-detected and parsed into the same unified JSON structure. Your agent doesn't need to know which format the source uses.
Does it fetch the feed URL or do I pass the XML?
Pass the feed URL and the engine fetches + parses in one step. No manual XML handling needed.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
