GeoFeeds MCP

#GeoFeeds is a non‑curated aggregator tracking nearly 90 geospatial and adjacent blogs created by Bill Dollins and James Fee, now enhanced with an #MCP endpoint. The new setup lets #AI tools query and analyze the feed’s cached data directly, opening up creative ways to explore sources and trends in the geospatial blogosphere.

GeoFeeds is a (non-curated) aggregator of feeds of around 90 geospatial or geospatial-adjacent blogs1, operated by Bill Dollins and James Fee. Recently, Bill set up an MCP2 endpoint for GeoFeeds. MCP is a way for AI systems to communicate with external tools and data sources using a common “language” instead of needing custom code for each connection. This MCP endpoints can now be used to analyze the cached feed using AI clients. Bill’s blog has more background and some examples:

For example, I asked Claude to tell me the most prolific blogs so far this month (January, 2026). I spot checked a few of these and the numbers were right. (It also correctly flagged OSGeo’s spam problem.)

I’m not sure how large the GeoFeeds cache (and thus the accessible volume of “data”) is. But in any case GeoFeeds caches all of its feeds (understandably not the full content of the blog posts) for the trailing 12 months (thanks, Bill!). This is definitely something interesting to play around with.
