imprvhub/mcp-claude-hackernews

An integration that allows Claude Desktop to interact with Hacker News using the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

Exposes five specialized tools for programmatic Hacker News access—fetching latest/top/best stories, retrieving detailed story metadata, and reading nested comments—via the Hacker News official API. Runs as a Node.js child process managed by Claude Desktop through stdio transport, with configuration stored in Claude's native `claude_desktop_config.json` file for automatic startup and seamless integration into Claude's tool ecosystem.
