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.

前提条件

完全なセットアップ手順はコネクタ自体に組み込まれています (ストアでコネクタを選択すると表示)。必要な環境変数:

(none — public API)

ステップ 1 — 認証情報を取得

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)

ステップ 2 — アダプターをインストール

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

ステップ 3 — ChatGPT にコネクタを追加

ChatGPT は Connectors 機能 (Plus / Pro / Team / Enterprise プラン) で MCP サーバーをサポートします。無料プランはカスタムコネクタをサポートしません。

  1. ChatGPT → Settings → Connectors を開きます (またはコンポーザーの 🔧 アイコン → Manage connectors をクリック)。
  2. "Add custom connector" をクリック。
  3. 入力:
    • Name: Hacker News
    • MCP server URL: https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp
    • Authentication: Bearer token → MCP API キーを貼り付け
  4. Connect をクリック。
