# Integrations

> Connect Rapid Reader to RSS feeds, Raindrop.io, Raycast, and AI tools via MCP

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

<Steps>
  <Step title="Generate an API Key">
    Go to **Preferences > Apps** in Rapid Reader and generate a new API key. Copy the key — it is only shown once.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure Your AI Tool">
    Add the Rapid Reader MCP server to your tool's configuration. For **Claude Desktop**, add the following to your `claude_desktop_config.json`:

    ```json theme={null}
    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "rapid-reader": {
          "command": "npx",
          "args": ["-y", "@rsvp/mcp-server"],
          "env": {
            "RAPID_READER_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
          }
        }
      }
    }
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Send Content">
    Ask your AI tool to send content to Rapid Reader. It lands in your cloud inbox and syncs to the app.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Info>
  MCP integration requires a **Pro account** with cloud sync enabled. Content is pushed to your cloud inbox and syncs to your devices automatically.
</Info>

### 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.

### Managing Feeds

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Feed Settings">
    Go to **Preferences > Library** and find the feeds section.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a Feed">
    Paste the RSS or Atom feed URL. Rapid Reader validates the feed and displays available articles.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set Import Behavior">
    Choose how articles are handled:

    * **Auto import** — New articles are added to your library as they publish
    * **Manual import** — Articles appear in a list and you pick which ones to add
  </Step>
</Steps>

You can subscribe to multiple feeds. Each feed is checked periodically for new content.

<Tip>
  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.
</Tip>

## Raindrop.io

[Raindrop.io](https://raindrop.io) is a bookmarking service for saving web content. Connect it to Rapid Reader to speed-read your saved articles.

### Connecting

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open App Settings">
    Go to **Preferences > Apps** and find the Raindrop.io section.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authorize">
    Click **Connect** and authorize Rapid Reader to access your Raindrop.io bookmarks.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Import Articles">
    Browse your saved bookmarks and import them into your reading library.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Raycast

The [Raycast](https://www.raycast.com/) extension provides quick commands for Mac users.

### Available Commands

| Command                 | What It Does                              |
| ----------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| **Read Clipboard**      | Speed-read whatever is on your clipboard  |
| **Open Library**        | Jump to your Rapid Reader library         |
| **Send to Web App**     | Push clipboard content to the web app     |
