Getting Started with the Hacker News MCP Server
Introduction
The Hacker News MCP Server brings one of tech's most influential communities directly into your Hive Intelligence workflow. This server lets you access stories, comments, and user profiles from Hacker News without leaving your AI assistant, making it easy to stay informed about technology discussions and trending topics.
What You Can Do
With the Hacker News MCP Server, you can query the platform through natural language commands. Ask your AI assistant to show you today's top stories, explore comment threads on specific submissions, or research user profiles to find subject matter experts. The server handles all API interactions behind the scenes, delivering structured data that's ready to use.
Key capabilities include:
- Browse story feeds - Access top stories, new submissions, or "best" posts that have demonstrated lasting value
- Read discussions - Dive into comment threads to understand community perspectives and technical insights
- Research users - View profile information including submission history, karma scores, and user activity
- Stay current - Get real-time access to the latest posts and updates from the community
Getting Started
Once your administrator has configured the server in Hive Intelligence, you can start using it immediately through natural conversation with your AI assistant. No special commands or syntax required.
Example Queries
Try these natural language requests to explore what the server can do:
- "What are the top stories on Hacker News right now?"
- "Show me the comments on the top story"
- "Find recent posts about artificial intelligence"
- "Look up the profile for user [username]"
- "What's trending in the new submissions?"
The server interprets your request, fetches the relevant data from Hacker News, and presents it in an easy-to-read format.
Practical Applications
Use the Hacker News MCP Server to monitor discussions about your industry, discover high-quality technical content vetted by the community, or track emerging trends in technology. It's particularly valuable for research, staying informed on breaking tech news, or gathering community perspectives on specific topics.
The server transforms Hacker News from a website you visit into a queryable knowledge source integrated directly into your daily workflow, saving time while keeping you connected to important conversations in the tech community.
