Overview

AI-generated overview

A hosted MCP server that gives an assistant live trending topics from Weibo, Baidu, Zhihu and Google Trends, plus HackerNews and StackExchange community threads

What you can do
Retrieve live hot topics from four sources, scored against content tracks such as parenting, AI tools or all, with a built-in sensitive-topic blacklist so drafts avoid death, disaster, crime and politics trends; optionally restrict a request to chosen sources such as Google Trends alone. Fetch high-engagement community threads from HackerNews and StackExchange sections (Parenting, Workplace, Expatriates) for research into the pain points users are discussing. Sources that cannot be read are reported as unavailable rather than filled in with guesses, and results are cached in memory for ten minutes per source.
When to use it
Useful for content-creation, marketing or research agents that need to know what people are currently discussing before writing a post or planning a campaign, and for gathering community pain points for search or generative-engine optimization research.
Requirements
The hosted endpoint is reachable without installation; the README also describes running a local Python 3.8+ script with no pip install. The hosted service is free for 10 calls per day per IP, then charged per call; a separate paid 30-day access key is offered for the HTTP API. Network access to the upstream platforms is needed.
Before you install
Calls beyond the free daily quota cost money, and the separate HTTP API key is a paid purchase. The server reads public third-party platforms, so their terms should be respected. The README shows an API key passed as a query parameter in plain HTTP examples.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Hot Topics MCP in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.goaimoat%2Fhot-topics/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

[M8ven Score]

Trending topics for AI agents — Weibo / Baidu / Zhihu (China) + Google Trends (US), plus HackerNews & StackExchange community intel. 2 tools. Zero dependencies, pure Python stdlib.

  • Hosted (no install): https://hot.mcp.goaimoat.com/mcp
  • Registry name: com.goaimoat/hot-topics
  • Free: 10 calls per day per IP. Then $0.03/call.

Built for content-creation and marketing agents that need to know what people are actually talking about right now before they write. Battle-tested in production driving a daily automated content pipeline.

Tools

ToolWhat it gives the agent
get_trendingLive hot topics from 4 sources, scored against content tracks (亲子教育, AI工具, EN_kids, EN_ai, all, raw), with a built-in sensitive-topic blacklist (death/disaster/crime/politics) so agents never draft around toxic trends
get_reddit_intelHigh-engagement community threads (HackerNews + StackExchange: Parenting/Workplace/Expatriates) for GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) research — the pain points real users are asking about this week

Why this exists

  • Trending data is scattered across platforms that expose no API, and each source covers a different audience. An agent that reads only one is working from a partial picture.
  • This server collects them into one structured response, so the agent sees the whole picture in a single call.
  • Multi-source with graceful degradation: any one source failing does not break the pipeline. A source that cannot be read is reported as unavailable rather than filled in with guesses.

Quick start

Requires Python 3.8+. No pip install needed.

Claude Desktop / WorkBuddy (mcp.json)

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "hot-topics": {      "command": "python",      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/server.py"]    }  }}

Then ask your agent: "What are today's trending topics in the AI工具 track?" or "Get reddit intel for the kids track and draft a post."

Example tool calls

json
{"name": "get_trending", "arguments": {"track": "AI工具"}}{"name": "get_trending", "arguments": {"track": "EN_ai", "sources": ["google_trends"]}}{"name": "get_reddit_intel", "arguments": {"track": "poa"}}

Hosted API (no install, works behind any firewall)

Don't want to run it yourself, or your network can't reach these sources? A hosted version runs 24/7 on our Singapore server — one HTTP GET, JSON back:

GET http://43.160.199.215/hotapi/v1/hot?track=EN_ai&key=YOUR_KEYGET http://43.160.199.215/hotapi/v1/reddit?track=poa&key=YOUR_KEYGET http://43.160.199.215/hotapi/v1/health

30-day access key: $9 → https://niebingyu.gumroad.com/l/hot-topics-api

Notes

  • 10-minute in-memory cache per source; polite to upstreams.
  • All sources are public endpoints used for research; respect each platform's terms.
  • Protocol: MCP over stdio, JSON-RPC 2.0, protocol version 2024-11-05.
