HackerNews

This MCP server provides HackerNews integration capabilities through the official Firebase API, enabling AI assistants to search stories, analyze user profiles, track trending topics, and examine comment discussions programmatically. Built by Traves Theberge using TypeScript with comprehensive caching, error handling, and Docker support, it offers 14 resources including story collections (top/new/best/ask/show/jobs), individual items with metadata enhancement, user profiles with calculated statistics, and comment trees, plus 5 specialized tools for story searching with filters, post analysis with engagement metrics, user activity profiling, trending topic extraction from titles, and comment thread analysis. The implementation features intelligent caching with configurable TTL and size limits, batch operations for performance optimization, enhanced metadata like story age and domain extraction, and flexible search capabilities with author/score/date filtering, making it valuable for content research workflows, community analysis, trend monitoring, and building AI assistants that need programmatic access to HackerNews discussions without manual website navigation.
