A Model Context Protocol (MCP) for summarizing Hacker News discussions using Claude.

The Hacker News Companion MCP is designed to fetch and process discussions from Hacker News, preparing them in a format that Claude can use to generate high-quality summaries. It effectively handles the hierarchical structure of comments and their metadata, such as scores and downvotes, to help Claude understand the relative importance and relationships of different comments. This MCP is particularly useful for users who want to quickly grasp the essence of lengthy discussions on Hacker News without having to read through every comment.

Features

  • Process Hacker News URLs or post IDs
  • Download and analyze comment structure from HN
  • Score comments based on community engagement
  • Format data optimized for Claude's summarization
