I built an hourly newspaper for e-ink (and turned the pipeline into an MCP server)

Developer J. Shelley has created an automated hourly news service designed for e-ink devices, which has evolved into a versatile Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. The pipeline aggregates approximately 120 items from 100 RSS feeds every hour, utilizing an LLM to act as an editor that deduplicates content and generates structured briefings. These briefings are rendered into one-bit images for e-ink displays or converted into PDFs for platforms like reMarkable and Kindle. Beyond the hardware application, the project now functions as an MCP server, allowing AI agents to query news briefings directly. Shelley notes that while human users appreciate the curated digests, the current primary users of the MCP interface are automated bots. The project is live, offering free access to JSON feeds and an MCP endpoint, with paid tiers available for advanced usage. This initiative highlights the growing intersection of automated content curation and agent-accessible data pipelines.
