Why generate a feed

The site has no feed. Now it does.

Paste a site URL and get RSS feed even without one, turning latest links into an RSS 2.0 feed of up to 25 items.

A trigger for your automation

In Zapier, Make or n8n the hosted feed is a trigger. A new item in the feed starts the workflow.

Never a scraped copy of a real feed

It detects an existing RSS or Atom feed and returns it. You never get a scraped copy of a feed the site already has.

How the StartupHub.ai generator works

  1. Step 1

    Paste the site URL

    It works best on a blog index, a news page or a press page.

  2. Step 2

    The feed is found or built

    It detects an existing RSS or Atom feed and returns it instead of building one, so you never get a scraped copy of that feed. Otherwise it turns latest article links on the page into an RSS 2.0 feed of up to 25 items.

  3. Step 3

    Set the refresh rate

    Hosted feeds refresh hourly on Starter, every 15 minutes on Startup, and every 60 seconds on Pro and above.

  4. Step 4

    Copy, download or subscribe

    You can copy the raw XML, download it as an .xml file or subscribe to a hosted feed URL that refreshes on a schedule. The hosted feed works in Feedly, Inoreader, Zapier, Make and n8n.

RSS feeds wherever you work

It runs from an AI agent over MCP, over a public endpoint, as a trigger in Zapier, Make and n8n, and in any feed reader.

MCP and AI agents

The generate_rss_feed tool runs the RSS feed generator over MCP with no key in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and n8n.

Access our MCP server
onboarding prompt

> Add the MCP server https://www.startuphub.ai/api/v1/mcp (name: StartupHub.ai) and use its generate_rss_feed tool to make a feed for a site that has none.

● startuphub - generate_rss_feed (MCP)

  ⎿ existing_feed: none, feed built from the latest article links

● RSS 2.0 feed ready, with a hosted feed URL that refreshes on a schedule.

Claude Code

Claude Code connects to our MCP server once and can then make a feed for any site mid-task with the generate_rss_feed tool and no key.

Set up in Claude Code
GET /api/v1/rss?url=https://startuphub.ai/blog200 OK
{
  "existing_feed": null,
  "item_count": ...,
  "feed_xml": "<?xml ...",
  "live_feed_url": "https://www.startuphub.ai/..."
}

RSS endpoint

The public endpoint takes a URL and allows 10 requests a day from one network without a key. An API key lifts that limit.

Why this feed keeps working

Automations break when a feed goes dark. This one is built not to: if the source blocks our scraper, it rotates crawler identities, falls back to the site sitemap, and finally serves the last good copy, self-healing the moment the site responds again. Your Zap never sees an empty feed.

Common questions about RSS triggers.

If you do not find the answer here, reach us from the help and contact page.

Help and contact
Can I use an RSS feed as a trigger in Zapier?

Yes. Zapier has a built-in "RSS by Zapier" trigger. Paste the feed URL this tool gives you and Zapier fires a Zap on every new item. The same works in Make ("Watch RSS feed items") and n8n ("RSS Feed Read").

What if the website has no RSS feed?

That is exactly what this tool solves. It first checks for an existing feed, and if there is none it scrapes the latest posts and builds a valid RSS 2.0 feed you can subscribe to. If the page blocks bots, it falls back to the sitemap and to the last known good copy, so the feed keeps working.

Is the feed URL live, or a one-time snapshot?

Live. The URL re-scans the source every time your automation polls it, so Zapier, Make, or n8n always see the newest items. You choose how often it refreshes.

How often does the feed update?

Hosted feeds refresh hourly on Starter, every 15 minutes on Startup and in real time on Pro and above.

What does it cost?

Creating feeds needs a paid plan. Starter is $5 a month and hosted feeds refresh faster on higher plans.
