How to Set Up the Hacker News MCP Server
Prerequisites
Before setting up the Hacker News MCP Server, ensure you have Node.js installed on your system and access to the Cloudflare Worker Bindings environment where you'll be deploying the server. You should also have basic familiarity with command-line operations and configuration file editing.
Installation Steps
Start by installing the Hacker News MCP Server package in your project. If you're using npm, run:
npm install @modelcontextprotocol/server-hackernews
For other package managers, use the equivalent installation command for your environment.
Configuration
The server needs to be configured within your Cloudflare Worker Bindings setup. Open your MCP configuration file (typically mcp.json or similar) and add a new server entry:
{
"mcpServers": {
"hackernews": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["path/to/server-hackernews/dist/index.js"],
"env": {}
}
}
}
Adjust the path to match where the server package is installed in your project structure. The server doesn't require API keys or authentication credentials since it connects to Hacker News' public API.
Verifying the Connection
Once configured, restart your Cloudflare Worker to activate the server. You can verify the connection is working by asking your AI assistant a simple query like "What are the current top stories on Hacker News?" If the server is properly configured, you'll receive a list of trending stories from the platform.
Using the Server
With the server running, you can interact with Hacker News through natural language queries. Ask for specific types of content like "Show me the newest submissions," request user information with "Get profile details for [username]," or explore discussions by asking "Show me comments on story [ID]."
The server handles all API interactions automatically, returning formatted data that your AI assistant can interpret and present. No additional programming or API knowledge is required—simply ask questions as you would naturally phrase them.
Troubleshooting
If the server isn't responding, verify that the path in your configuration file is correct and that Node.js is properly installed. Check your Cloudflare Worker logs for any error messages that might indicate configuration issues. Ensure your environment has internet connectivity to access the Hacker News API endpoints.
