Claude & MCP

SeRSSly works with Claude through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) or by giving Claude direct API access via an API key.

Option 1: Direct API access

The simplest approach. Give Claude your API key and tell it how to use the SeRSSly API.

# Set your API key as an environment variable
export SERSSLY_API_KEY=your-key-here

# Then ask Claude:
"Create a new SeRSSly email address for tracking AI newsletters,
 then show me the RSS feed URL"

Claude can call the REST API directly using curl or HTTP tools. Point it at the API reference for the full endpoint list.

Option 2: MCP server

Connect SeRSSly as an MCP server for tighter integration. Claude discovers available tools automatically.

}

Available tools: list_addresses, create_address, update_address, delete_address, list_emails, list_folders, create_folder.

Example workflows

Daily newsletter summary

Ask Claude to fetch your RSS feeds and summarize them:

"Fetch my SeRSSly feeds and give me a summary of
 everything published in the last 24 hours.
 Highlight anything related to AI regulation."

Auto-subscribe to newsletters

Let Claude manage your subscriptions:

"I want to track the Stratechery, Platformer, and
 Money Stuff newsletters. Create SeRSSly addresses
 for each one and show me where to subscribe."

Research pipeline

Feed newsletter content into a knowledge base:

"Check my 'Industry Research' folder feed for new
 emails. Extract any mentions of funding rounds
 over $10M and add them to my research notes."
