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

Описание и применение

Автоматизированный поток новостей, обновляемый каждый час, выводит контент в формате 480x800 для Xteink X4, PDF для reMarkable/Kindle и API MCP для агентов.

Задача

Deliver timely, curated news to e‑ink readers and agents without manual editing.

Результат

Hourly curated news delivered as e‑ink pages, PDFs, and an MCP API, with automated deduplication and ranking, achieving steady bot traffic and user adoption.

Рабочий процесс

• Collect 120 items from ~100 RSS feeds with feedparser
• Deduplicate by canonical URL and headline entity overlap
• Rank with Claude Haiku 4.5, fallback to rule‑based ranker
• Render 480x800 BMP, 800x480 panel, and PDF with Pillow
• Publish to S3 + CloudFront with change‑stamp manifest

Доказательства

Every hour, a Lambda pulls about 120 items from ~100 RSS feeds, asks a small model to act as an editor, and typesets the result as a 480x800 one-bit page for the Xteink X4 e-ink reader
