Rapid Reader connects to external services so content flows into your library without manual effort. Subscribe to feeds, sync bookmarks, trigger reads from Raycast, or push content from AI tools.

​
MCP Server

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) server lets AI tools like Claude Desktop send content directly to your Rapid Reader library.

​
Setup

Go to Preferences > Apps in Rapid Reader and generate a new API key. Copy the key — it is only shown once.
2

3

Send Content

Ask your AI tool to send content to Rapid Reader. It lands in your cloud inbox and syncs to the app.
MCP integration requires a Pro account with cloud sync enabled. Content is pushed to your cloud inbox and syncs to your devices automatically.

​
What You Can Do

Once connected, your AI tool can:
  • Send articles, summaries, or generated text to your reading library
  • Push research materials for later speed reading
  • Queue content from conversations for review

​
RSS & Atom Feeds

Subscribe to blogs, news sites, and publications to have new articles appear in your library automatically.

Go to Preferences > Library and find the feeds section.

Set Import Behavior

Choose how articles are handled:

  • Manual import — Articles appear in a list and you pick which ones to add
You can subscribe to multiple feeds. Each feed is checked periodically for new content.
Most blogs and news sites have an RSS feed. Look for an RSS icon on the site, or try appending /feed or /rss to the site URL.
