How do I connect Claude to RSS in 5 minutes?

Execute the following steps to connect Claude to RSS. You only need knowledge of Claude and your own business.

RSS is a file format to communicate news messages and other streaming data.

No technical knowledge is needed nor knowledge on the RSS APIs to connect RSS to Claude. This step-by-step plan will tell you exactly which steps you need to go through on Invantive Cloud to create your own Azure data warehouse with data from RSS.

The steps to connect Claude to RSS are:

  1. Register an Invantive Cloud account.
  2. Create a RSS database.
  3. Grant connection from Claude access to RSS
  4. Connect Claude to RSS through the connector.
  5. Ask Claude a question about RSS

Invantive Cloud offers a RSS connector to download data from RSS into Claude, but there are over 110 other connectors available also for SQL, Power BI, Power Query, Qlik, Tableau i Azure Data Factory.

Do you have a large environment? For effective downloads, you can of course also filter the data.

When you are having questions, please check the forums for RSS. Every organisation is entitled to 1 hour of free training to help you get started. This free hour also applies to free plans.

  19. The Invantive Cloud dashboard will be shown.

You now have a login code on Invantive Cloud with which you can set up the connection with RSS and numerous other platforms. You will use the same Invantive login code and workflow for all other platforms.

Create RSS database

In this step, we set up a database with data from RSS. The database is "virtual" because it is not a traditional database, but is fed real-time from RSS. Invantive Cloud provides Claude with a real-time link to RSS. The database will be used for all your RSS reporting with Claude. So you only need to perform these steps once.

  1. Click the Add Database button. Add database.

  2. Select RSS from the list. Select RSS connector.

  3. Please fill out the form with login information for RSS.

  4. Select the OK-button.

Congratulations! You can now process data from RSS within the Invantive Cloud website. You can do this for example with the interactive SQL editor.

Grant connection from Claude access to RSS

To retrieve the data from Claude we create a link via Invantive Bridge Online. This creates a "bridge" between the cloud of Invantive and the standard OData connector that is available in every version of Claude. You do not need to install anything locally: no connector, no ado.NET provider and no Claude add-on neither.

Execute the following steps to safely use the data from RSS outside of Invantive Cloud:

  1. Next to the database you will find an orange text requesting you to allow access from your current location (IP address). Select the nearby orange button.

  2. You can completely disable IP address checking by entering an asterisk ("*").

You are now ready to import the RSS data into Claude.

Configure the MCP connector in Claude for RSS

In Claude the address of the MCP server is added once as a custom connector, after which the data of RSS is available in every conversation.

  1. In Claude: open Settings and then Connectors, and choose to add a custom connector. In Claude: open Settings and then Connectors, and choose to add a custom connector.

  2. Paste the URL address of the MCP server copied in the previous step and confirm. Paste the URL address of the MCP server copied in the previous step and confirm.

  3. Log on with your Invantive Cloud account and approve the request. Log on with your Invantive Cloud account and approve the request.

  4. Ask a question only your own RSS data can answer. The connector first reads the data model and then the records the question needs. Ask a question only your own RSS data can answer. The connector first reads the data model and then the records the question needs.

What Claude Can and Cannot Do

The connector offers tools such as to describe the data model and read records. There is no tool that writes, posts, deletes or executes SQL, so no instruction in a conversation can change anything in RSS.

Reading is bounded by the database: platforms not in it and RSS companies not selected are not reachable.
