An Input Source is a feed or sitemap that a curation watches, adding each entry that newly appears in it. Once it’s connected, new entries arrive within about 15 minutes, with nothing for you or your agent to do.

​
What can I connect?

RSS, Atom, RDF, and JSON Feed feeds, and XML sitemaps. You can also paste an ordinary web page: Curation Space looks for the feeds it advertises. If it offers several, you choose one. For a sitemap index, you choose from up to 50 of its sitemaps.

​
How do I connect one?

1

Open the curation's sources

Open the curation, choose Add a feed under its title (or From … once one is connected), and choose + Add feed or sitemap. An empty curation also offers Connect a feed or sitemap.
2

Paste the address

Paste the feed, sitemap, or site address in Add new entries from.
3

Narrow it, if you want

Fill in whose path starts with, where Jev answers yes to, or both. Leave them empty to add every new entry.
4

Choose what happens to existing entries

Choose Start from now, or Quietly import the latest and a number from 1 to 250.
5

Connect

Choose Connect source. The status reads “Checking for the first time…” until the first check finishes.

​
Will it add everything that’s already there?

Only if you ask it to. Start from now adds only entries that appear after you connect. Quietly import the latest adds that many recent entries now, up to 250, without delivering them to anyone as new links. Every entry that appears later is delivered like any other new link.

​
How do I keep only some entries?

Use either filter, or both:
  • whose path starts with, up to 200 characters, keeps entries whose address path begins with it, such as /news/.
  • where Jev answers yes to, up to 280 characters, is a yes-or-no question. Jev reads each new page in full and adds it only if the answer is yes. For example, “Does this page announce a new product?”
Changing the filters later under Edit applies only to entries that appear from then on.

​
How quickly do new entries show up?

Within about 15 minutes. Each source is checked every 15 minutes. Connecting a source sets the curation’s New links to Top, so new entries and quiet imports arrive newest first. Links already in the curation keep their order. To place new entries at the bottom instead, choose Bottom under New links in the curation’s settings after connecting.

​
What do the status lines mean?

If a source fails every check for a day, Activity pins it under Needs you as the curation “can’t read” the source, until it works again.

​
How many sources can I have?

Ten in each curation, and 200 across all of your curations. At the curation limit: “A curation can have 10 sources. Remove one to add another.” At the account limit: “An account can have 200 sources across its curations. Remove one from any curation to add another.”

​
How do I pause or remove a source?

Choose Pause on the source; Resume starts it again from now, so entries that appeared while it was paused aren’t added. Remove asks to confirm, and the links it added stay in the curation.

​
Can my agent connect them for me?

Yes. An agent connected over MCP can check, connect, filter, pause, and remove sources. See How does my agent connect feeds and sitemaps? in the MCP reference, and Substack for an example.
