Prompts Used

I was informed of Thoroughbred Daily News yesterday. They provide an RSS feed at https://www.thoroughbreddailynews.com/feed/.  Can you write a Python program that:

Loads the feed
Parse the XML
For each story, show the title, content, and link

Excellent, thanks so much! Now, can you turn it into an MCP server using FastMCP? Expose one method for @mcp.tool() named get_horse_racing_news.
