Security note

MCP servers receive tool arguments from a conversation and may perform external actions. Review what a server can do before you enable it, and give it only the access it needs.

The registry verified the GitHub account mrfentmen for this listing. That does not show the account is the product's maker.

SourceWeft's checks cover whether the listing is complete and the endpoint answered; they do not review the server's code or what its tools do.

Overview

AI-generated overview

A local MCP server that lets an assistant fetch Hacker News top stories and Reddit top posts by subreddit, with no API key required.

What you can do: Retrieve the current top stories from Hacker News for the assistant to read and summarize. Fetch top posts from a specified subreddit on Reddit. No tool list is published, so exact parameters and output formats are not documented.
When to use it: Useful when you want an assistant to pull current trending links and discussions from Hacker News or a particular subreddit, for example for a quick digest of what is popular right now.
Requirements: Runs as a local process over stdio, installed from the npm package hn-reddit-mcp, so Node.js and npm are needed. No API key, environment variables or headers are declared. Network access to Hacker News and Reddit is implied.

Before you install

The server reads public content from Hacker News and Reddit, so requests go to those third parties. No credentials are requested, but no README or tool documentation is available, so review the package before installing.

Installation

In SourceWeft
