Hacker News + Claude

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

完整的设置说明已内置在连接器中 (在 store 中选择连接器时可见)。所需环境变量:

(none — public API)

步骤 1 — 获取凭证

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)

步骤 2 — 安装 adapter

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

步骤 3 — 在 Claude 中添加连接器

推荐路径 — 在 claude.ai web 上工作，无需触碰任何配置文件。

打开 claude.ai/customize/connectors。
点击 "Add custom connector"。
填入:
- Name: Hacker News
- URL: https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp
- Authentication: Bearer token → 粘贴你的 MCP API key (来自 AnythingMCP → Profile → MCP API Keys → New Key)
点击 Connect 授权。
