Overview

Zenfeed is an intelligent RSS reader and information management system that combines AI capabilities with traditional RSS feeds. It can be configured as an MCP server, exposing tools for querying RSS feeds, monitoring web content, and generating AI summaries. The project features a flexible pipeline processing mechanism that allows users to customize how content is scored, categorized, summarized, and filtered. It supports multiple AI backends and offers extensive configuration options through declarative YAML files.

FAQ

What AI models does Zenfeed support?

By default, it uses models from SiliconFlow (Qwen/Qwen3-8B and Qwen/Qwen3-Embedding-4B), but it can be configured to work with other providers like Gemini 2.5.

Can I deploy Zenfeed publicly?

Yes, but you should configure security group rules to only allow trusted IPs since it has no authentication mechanism and exposing API keys could be a security risk.
