## Description

This MCP server provides RSS feed parsing and retrieval capabilities with built-in RSSHub integration and fallback support across multiple instances. Built using TypeScript with axios, rss-parser, and cheerio, it automatically tries multiple RSSHub instances when one fails, supports custom rsshub:// protocol URLs for simplified feed access, and includes intelligent error handling with random user agent rotation. The implementation extracts clean text content from HTML descriptions, formats publication dates consistently, and handles both standard RSS feeds and RSSHub's extensive collection of social media and news sources, making it valuable for AI assistants that need to access current content from websites, social platforms, and news sources that don't natively provide RSS feeds.
