Hi HN! I built mcp-hacker-news, an MCP server for Hacker News. It acts as a bridge between the Hacker News API and AI-powered tools that support MCP (like Claude and Cursor). With this MCP server, you can fetch and interact with live Hacker News data—posts, comments, or users. The project is written in TypeScript and aims to facilitate seamless integration between LLMs and automation workflows and HN data. I'm sharing this to get feedback from developers, LLM tinkerers, or anyone interested in open AI workflows and data integration. If you have ideas for improvement or want to contribute,…

Hi all! I normally work on the PyTorch project but I've been on baby leave for the past month, so I've been playing around with AI as a user rather than a framework implementor. I really liked the agent experience with Claude Code, but I couldn't really justify spending so many dollars on API costs for random side projects. I already pay for a Claude Pro subscription though, and it turns out you can simulate many of Claude Code's features with an MCP. If you have a Pro subscription, check this out! I think it really captures the Claude Code experience quite well, without forcing you to pay…

Built an MCP server for Eventship (an in-person events platform I run). It lets Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client find events, register attendees, create and publish events, and broadcast to registrants through natural language. Stack: FastAPI, ~25 tools, progressive discovery to keep context load low. Started read-only, added write tools once I saw what people actually asked for. Happy to answer anything about the build. Feedback welcome.

Built this to track the ongoing debate around Model Context Protocol - whether it's gaining real traction or just hype. Pulls live data from GitHub, HN, Reddit and a few other sources. Curious what the HN crowd thinks given how active the MCP discussion has been here.

I decided to build my own AI feeds reader since I wanted features I couldn't find, or at least not in the way I wanted to, for instance: - Filter news by interest/category - Cluster same story from different sources into one - Show short summary of each new so you can skip if it's not really that interesting to you - Track relevant AI figures, but not only their tweets and posts but also their appearences in articles and interviews I'm still tuning it and improving it everyday.

Large Language Models (LLMs) are powerful, but they’re limited by fixed context windows and outdated knowledge. What if your AI could access live search, structured data extraction, OCR, and more—all through a standardized interface? We built the JigsawStack MCP Server, an open-source implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) that lets any AI model call external tools effortlessly. Here’s what it unlocks: - Web Search & Scraping: Fetch live information and extract structured data from web pages. - OCR & Structured Data Extraction: Process images, receipts, invoices, and handwritten…

In today's world, catchy headlines and articles often distract readers from the facts and relevant information. Simply News is an attempt to cut through the fray and provide straightforward daily updates about what's actually happening. By coordinating multiple AI agents, Simply News processes sensationalist news articles and transforms them into a cohesive, news-focused podcast across many distinct topics every day. Each agent is responsible for a different part of this process. For example, we have agents which perform the following functions: The Sorter: Scans a vast array of news sources…
