Hacker News

Integrates with Hacker News API to fetch top stories, retrieve detailed story information with markdown content extraction, get popular comments with filtering options, and search recent stories by keywords within specified time ranges.

This Hacker News MCP server by George Nance provides AI assistants with structured access to Hacker News content through four core tools: fetching top stories with configurable counts, retrieving detailed story information with optional markdown content extraction, getting popular comments with filtering by score and depth, and searching recent stories by keywords within specified time ranges. The implementation includes robust security features like private IP blocking and input validation, uses axios for reliable API communication with the official Hacker News API, and formats responses as clean JSON or readable text depending on the tool. It's particularly valuable for AI assistants that need to research current tech discussions, analyze trending topics, or incorporate real-time community insights from Hacker News into their responses.
