pskill9/hn-server

The hn-server MCP tool provides a structured interface for interacting with Hacker News, transforming raw HTML from news.ycombinator.com into clean, machine-readable data. For developers building AI agents or automated research workflows, this tool eliminates the overhead of writing custom scrapers or managing complex DOM parsing. Instead of dealing with unstructured web content, you can query specific endpoints to retrieve categorized data across top stories, new submissions, 'Ask HN' threads, 'Show HN' projects, and job postings. It is particularly useful for integrating real-time tech trends and developer sentiment into LLM-driven applications. Unlike generic web search tools that return noisy snippets, this server offers high-signal, schema-consistent data designed specifically for programmatic consumption within an MCP-enabled environment.
