Overview

AI-generated overview

A hosted Hacker News MCP server that lets an assistant pull the latest tech news and stories from Hacker News.

What you can do
  • Fetch and browse Hacker News content, such as the latest and top tech stories.
  • No tool list is published, so the exact operations are not documented beyond general news access.
  • Includes free health check and discovery tools; other tools may be paid.
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to surface current tech news and Hacker News discussion without building your own API integration.
Requirements
A remote MCP endpoint at hacker-news-mcp.mcpize.run over streamable HTTP; no authentication, environment variables or headers are declared. Paid tools require an x402-capable MCP client with USDC on Base.
Before you install
The README states paid tools require x402 payments in USDC on Base, so using them can spend cryptocurrency; free tools are limited to health check and discovery. No tool list is published, so review what each tool does before enabling payments.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Hacker News 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/io.github.varvararatta%2Fhacker_news_mcp/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.
