Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP server that gives an assistant Hacker News front-page stories, search results, points, comments, and mentions of a domain.

What you can do
  • Read the Hacker News front page with story titles, points and comment counts
  • Search Hacker News stories and discussions
  • Find which stories link to a given domain, to track mentions
  • Return links and discussion details for individual stories
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to monitor Hacker News for trending tech stories, research past discussions, or check whether a site or product has been posted and discussed there.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint at mcp.apify.com, authenticated with OAuth. An Apify account and an Apify API token sent as an Authorization bearer header are required.
Before you install
The Authorization header carries your Apify API token, a secret. Runs are billed per story to your Apify account, so repeated or broad queries can cost money. Requests go through Apify's hosted service.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Frontpeek: Hacker News Front Page + Mentions — stories, scores, links in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Connect the required credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
  3. 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/dev.workers.cybermax-tools.cybermax%2Fhacker-news/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

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config. The client completes OAuth sign-in on first connect.

Tools

This server asks you to sign in, so SourceWeft could not read its tools without an account and has not indexed them. What a connected account sees can depend on that account and its permissions.

67% of the applicable checks met

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.
