get_horse_racing_newsLABSCO SUMMARY
One feed, one tool, whole stories.
Because the tool returns the story body rather than a headline and a link, the assistant can actually summarise the day's racing news in one turn. It is a single publication by design — useful when that publication is the one you follow, and worth pairing with a general web tool when it is not.
What it is
A small FastMCP server that reads thoroughbreddailynews.com's RSS feed and returns the current stories to an MCP client.
What you get
get_horse_racing_news— the feed's current stories, each with title, content and link- Content in the response, not just headlines, so the assistant can summarise without a second fetch
- A link per story for going to the source
