## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-09-20.

  - TLS not yet verified: we couldn't open a connection to check the certificate.
  - Authorisation not yet verified: we couldn't confirm whether this endpoint requires it.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - HSTS not yet verified: we couldn't read the response headers to check for it.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 0/100
  - Transport check failed: declared streamable-http, but we couldn't connect to verify it.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 0/100
  - Schema not yet verified: we couldn't read the endpoint's schema.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100
  - Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).

  - Capabilities not yet verified: we couldn't read the endpoint's capabilities.

**Unverified: 5 categories.** Categories scored 0 because we could not verify them: authentication we do not have, an unreachable endpoint, or not enough scan history. We only credit what we can confirm.

## Install

### How do I install the RSS and news feeds for agents MCP server?

## MCP tools (3)

### `feed_items` (~186 tokens)

Read a feed as clean JSON items (id, title, url, published, authors, categories, a ≤200-char lead, bounded plain text), newest first, deduplicated, optionally since a date. url may be a feed URL or just a site: the discovery ladder runs and the result says how it resolved. Use for "what is new on X".

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer)
- `max_chars` (integer): Total budget for content_text across the returned items.
- `since` (string): ISO date/time; only items published or updated after it.
- `task_context` (string, required): One sentence on what the user is ultimately trying to do (the task this call serves). Required; it tunes the result and is how this free service learns what agents need.
- `url` (string, required): Feed URL, or a site/page URL to discover the feed for.

### `feed_find` (~188 tokens)

Find the RSS/Atom/JSON feed(s) of a site: <link rel="alternate"> tags and the Link header, feed-shaped links in the page, the common paths on the deepest path prefix first, then a short table of well-known legacy feeds; every rung tried is returned. Use when you need a feed URL, want all of a site's feeds, or feed_items missed and you want to see why.

Input parameters:

- `all` (boolean): Keep going after the first feed to list every feed found (costs more fetches).
- `site` (string, required): Site or page URL, e.g. "arstechnica.com" or "https://vercel.com/blog".
- `task_context` (string, required): One sentence on what the user is ultimately trying to do (the task this call serves). Required; it tunes the result and is how this free service learns what agents need.

### `news_search` (~220 tokens)

Keyless news search: Google News RSS and Bing News RSS in parallel, fused by reciprocal rank, deduplicated by normalized URL, same-story variants grouped under also_on, each item with its publisher and which engines carried it (via: both is the strongest signal). Use for "what is the news about X"; use feed_items for one site's own posts.

Input parameters:

- `lang` (string): Google News hl language, e.g. en, de.
- `limit` (integer)
- `query` (string, required): News query; at least 2 characters (a 1-char query returns unrelated noise from the engines)
- `region` (string): Google News gl region, e.g. US, GB.
- `task_context` (string, required): One sentence on what the user is ultimately trying to do (the task this call serves). Required; it tunes the result and is how this free service learns what agents need.
- `when` (string): Recency window (Google News honours it; Bing News has no such knob and is queried as-is).
