Privacy & Opt-out

Users can opt out of AI analysis by:

1. Adding one of these tags to their profile description: #noai, #opt-out-ai, #no-bots, #ai-free
2. Setting their account to private
3. Contacting the server maintainer to be added to the manual opt-out list

The server automatically excludes:

• Private accounts (isPrivate: "1")
• Paused accounts (isGone: true)
• Users with opt-out tags in their profile

Opt-out filtering is disabled by default. Enable it with configuration:

• FREEFEED_OPTOUT_ENABLED=true
• FREEFEED_OPTOUT_USERS=oneuser,anotheruser
• FREEFEED_OPTOUT_TAGS=#noai,#opt-out-ai,#no-bots,#ai-free
• FREEFEED_OPTOUT_RESPECT_PRIVATE=true
• FREEFEED_OPTOUT_RESPECT_PAUSED=true
• FREEFEED_OPTOUT_CONFIG=/path/to/opt_out.json

Example opt-out config file:

{
  "enabled": true,
  "manual_opt_out": ["someuser"],
  "tags": ["#noai", "#opt-out-ai", "#no-bots", "#ai-free"],
  "respect_private": true,
  "respect_paused": true
}

Claude Desktop integration

Add to Claude Desktop config (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "freefeed": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "freefeed_mcp_server"],
      "env": {
        "FREEFEED_BASE_URL": "https://freefeed.net",
        "FREEFEED_API_VERSION": "4",
        "FREEFEED_APP_TOKEN": "your_app_token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace `/path/to/venv/bin/python` with your actual virtualenv path. On macOS it is often
`./.venv/bin/python` if you created a local venv in the project directory.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "freefeed": {
      "command": "/usr/bin/python3",
      "args": ["-m", "freefeed_mcp_server"],
      "env": {
        "FREEFEED_BASE_URL": "https://freefeed.net",
        "FREEFEED_API_VERSION": "4",
        "FREEFEED_APP_TOKEN": "your_app_token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop integration (virtualenv)

Use the Python executable from your virtualenv:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "freefeed": {
      "command": "/path/to/venv/bin/python",
      "args": ["-m", "freefeed_mcp_server"],
      "env": {
