Newsmind
Claude can't read RSS on its own. Newsmind connects your feeds to Claude over the Model Context Protocol — so you can ask Claude to summarize, search, and brief you on the sources you trust, on web, desktop, iOS, and Android.
Also works with ChatGPT, Gemini, and any MCP client
You never need to learn a tool name. Ask in plain language and Claude picks the right one.
https://newsmind.app/mcp. OAuth signs you in automatically; there is no API key to copy and no config file to edit.Set the connector up once on claude.ai and it follows you. Sign in on each device and Newsmind appears in the connector list — there's no per-device configuration.
This is the part most RSS-to-Claude setups can't do. A local MCP server runs as a process on your machine, so it's unreachable from your phone by design. Newsmind is hosted, so the same connection works from anywhere.
You can paste a single article into Claude — but that doesn't scale to a morning's worth of news across dozens of sources. Newsmind keeps your feeds polled and full article text extracted, so Claude works from a live, complete picture instead of whatever you happened to paste. It tracks what you've already seen with resumable cursors, dedupes the same story across outlets, and exposes purpose-built tools so Claude spends its reasoning on your questions, not on plumbing. Built on open standards (MCP for Claude, OpenAPI for ChatGPT) so you're never locked to one model.
Pasting works for one article. It doesn't work for a morning's reading across forty sources, and Claude can't search what you didn't paste. Newsmind gives Claude the whole corpus and lets it pull only what your question needs.
A reader shows you a list and leaves the reading to you. That's fine at twenty articles a day and miserable at four hundred. Newsmind keeps the same feeds but changes the interface to a question — you ask what happened, instead of scrolling to find out.
Several open-source MCP servers read RSS, and they're a good fit if you want to own the stack. The tradeoffs are that you run and update the process yourself, it's reachable only from the machine it runs on, and polling stops when your laptop sleeps. Newsmind polls every minute on the server, extracts full article text, and is reachable from your phone.
Not on its own — Claude has no built-in RSS reader. Newsmind bridges the gap: it connects your RSS and Atom feeds to Claude over the Model Context Protocol so Claude can read, summarize, and search them.
Sign up for Newsmind, add your feeds, then paste
https://newsmind.app/mcp into Claude's custom connectors.
OAuth handles authentication. Claude reads your subscriptions on demand
from that point on.
Yes. Custom connectors require Claude Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise — they aren't available on Claude's free plan. That's an Anthropic restriction, not a Newsmind one.
No. Newsmind is a hosted MCP server. There's no config file to edit, no Node or Python process to keep running, and nothing to update. That's also why it works on iOS and Android, where a local server can't run.
Yes. Newsmind imports standard OPML, which every major reader exports — Feedly, Inoreader, NetNewsWire, Reeder. Import up to 100 feeds at a time by asking Claude, or upload a larger file from your account page. Export works the same way, so you're never locked in.
Pro covers a 30-day window and Max covers 90 days, measured by each article's publication date rather than when Newsmind fetched it. Articles outside your window aren't returned by search or discovery.
Yes. Watches let you save a keyword or a topic. Claude surfaces new matches each session, and you can have them delivered by email instead.
Yes — web, desktop, iOS, and Android, anywhere Claude supports connectors. Set it up once and it syncs to your other devices.
Yes. The same Newsmind account works with ChatGPT and with any MCP-compatible client — Cursor, Cline, Zed, Continue. One subscription, no lock-in to a single assistant.
14-day free trial. Cancel anytime.
Newsmind Pro is $32/year (1,000 feeds, full-text search). Newsmind Max is $40/year (5,000 feeds, 90-day history, semantic search). Both work with Claude and ChatGPT.
