Hacker News + ChatGPT

Read Hacker News (stories, comments, users, top/new/best/ask/show/job lists) from any AI agent via the official Firebase API. 8 tools, no auth.

Voraussetzungen

Die vollständige Setup-Anleitung ist in den Connector eingebaut (im Store sichtbar, wenn du den Connector auswählst). Benötigte Umgebungsvariablen für diesen Connector:

(none — public API)

Schritt 1 — Zugangsdaten holen

This connector wraps the official Hacker News API hosted on Firebase (hacker-news.firebaseio.com).

Setup: nothing. The API is public, read-only, and unauthenticated.

No write access: the official API is READ-ONLY. There is no way to post stories, comments, or vote via this connector — those require a session cookie obtained by submitting an HTML login form to news.ycombinator.com, which is out of scope for an MCP adapter.

Two-step pattern: list endpoints return arrays of integer IDs only (e.g. top 500 story IDs). You must then fetch each ID via hackernews_get_item to get the actual title/url/text/score. Plan accordingly — fetching 500 top stories means 501 requests.

…(continued in the in-app connector instructions)

Schritt 2 — Adapter installieren

git clone https://github.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp.git
cd anythingmcp && docker compose up -d

Schritt 3 — Connector in ChatGPT hinzufügen

ChatGPT unterstützt MCP-Server über die Connectors-Funktion (Plus-/Pro-/Team-/Enterprise-Pläne). Der kostenlose Tarif unterstützt keine eigenen Connectors.

  1. Öffne ChatGPT → Einstellungen → Connectors (oder klicke das 🔧-Icon im Composer → Manage connectors).
  2. Klicke "Add custom connector".
  3. Trage ein:
    • Name: Hacker News
    • MCP server URL: https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp
    • Authentication: Bearer Token → MCP-API-Key einfügen (aus AnythingMCP → Profile → MCP API Keys → New Key)
  4. Klicke Connect zum Autorisieren.
