How to Retrieve Top Stories and Story Feeds
Overview
The Hacker News MCP Server offers several methods to retrieve story feeds, giving you instant access to the most relevant content from the Hacker News community. Whether you're looking for trending discussions, fresh submissions, or highly-rated content, understanding these retrieval options will help you efficiently access the information you need.
Available Story Feeds
Top Stories
Top stories represent the most popular content currently on Hacker News' front page. These stories have gained significant community traction through upvotes and engagement. To retrieve top stories, simply ask your AI assistant for "top stories from Hacker News" or "what's trending on Hacker News right now." This feed is ideal when you want to know what the tech community is discussing at this moment.
New Stories
New stories show the latest submissions to Hacker News as they arrive, regardless of their vote count or popularity. This feed is perfect for staying ahead of trends or discovering content before it gains widespread attention. Request new stories by asking for "recent Hacker News submissions" or "new posts on Hacker News."
Best Stories
Best stories represent content that has demonstrated lasting value and quality, having maintained high scores over time. This feed filters for submissions that have resonated strongly with the community. Access best stories by requesting "best Hacker News stories" or "highest-rated Hacker News content."
Retrieving Story Details
Each story includes comprehensive metadata including the title, URL, author, submission time, score, and number of comments. When you request stories, the server automatically provides this structured information, making it easy to evaluate content at a glance.
You can also request specific stories by their unique identifier if you already know which submission you're interested in. This is particularly useful when following up on particular discussions or tracking specific threads over time.
Practical Tips
For most use cases, start with top stories to understand current community priorities. Use new stories when monitoring for specific topics or keywords as content emerges. Best stories work well for research purposes when you need proven, high-quality content.
You can request different quantities of stories depending on your needs—ask for just a handful for quick updates or larger batches for comprehensive analysis. The server handles pagination and data retrieval automatically, delivering clean, ready-to-use results through your AI assistant.
