Getting Started with the Hacker News MCP Server
What is the Hacker News MCP Server?
The Hacker News MCP Server connects your Fireflies workspace to Hacker News, one of the internet's most influential technology communities. Through this server, you can access stories, comments, user profiles, and real-time discussions without leaving your workflow.
Setting Up the Server
To begin using the Hacker News MCP Server, you'll need to add it to your Fireflies configuration. Once installed and configured, the server runs in the background, ready to respond to your requests through natural language queries.
The server communicates directly with Hacker News APIs, translating your requests into structured data that's easy to work with.
What You Can Do
Browse Stories
Access different story feeds by simply asking for them. Request top stories to see what's trending on the front page, check new submissions to catch the latest posts, or explore "best" stories for content that has demonstrated lasting value. Each story includes the title, URL, score, author, and submission time.
Read Comments
Dive into discussion threads to understand community perspectives. Comments on Hacker News often contain expert insights and technical depth that rivals the linked articles themselves. You can explore entire comment trees, view individual comments, and see how conversations develop around specific topics.
Research Users
Access user profiles to learn about community contributors. Each profile shows submission history, comments, karma score, and biographical information. This is particularly useful for identifying subject matter experts or tracking thought leaders in specific technology domains.
Monitor in Real-Time
Stay current with live data from Hacker News. The server provides real-time access to the latest submissions and updates, making it ideal for tracking breaking news, emerging trends, or specific topics of interest.
Practical Applications
Use the server to discover high-quality technical content vetted by the community's voting system. Track discussions about specific technologies, companies, or trends to gather unfiltered feedback from developers and tech professionals. Monitor emerging topics to understand what the tech community considers important right now.
Making Your First Request
Start by asking simple questions in natural language. Try "What are the top stories on Hacker News right now?" or "Show me comments on story 12345." The server handles the complexity behind the scenes, returning the information you need in an accessible format.
