FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI mark articles as read?

    No. The AI can only read the unread counts. You have to mark articles as read inside Inoreader yourself.

  • 02

    Can the AI delete my feeds?

    No. This MCP only has permission to read tag lists and unread counts. It cannot modify or delete your folders or feeds.

  • 03

    Does it work with any Inoreader tag?

    Yes, as long as the tag exists in your account, the AI can see the unread count for it.

  • 04

    Can I set up automatic alerts?

    The AI can report counts when you ask, but it doesn't push notifications to you on its own.

  • 05

    Can the AI read the actual content of the articles?

    No. This specific task is limited to checking the number of unread items, not reading the article text.
