This MCP server provides access to Hacker News content through the official Firebase API, enabling AI assistants to retrieve stories, comments, user profiles, and job postings from the popular tech news platform. Built by Pablo LC using TypeScript with the MCP SDK, it features caching with 2-minute TTL for API efficiency, comprehensive story filtering (top, best, new, Ask HN, Show HN), user profile lookup with karma and submission history, comment thread retrieval with configurable depth, and formatted responses that include both original URLs and Hacker News discussion links. The implementation offers both tools for interactive querying and resources for bulk data access, with automatic filtering of deleted/dead content and relative timestamp formatting, making it valuable for content research, trend analysis, developer community insights, and staying current with tech industry discussions.
