OpenTabs plugin for Hacker News
Hacker News MCP — search and retrieve stories from Hacker News
Use when the user wants to interact with Hacker News (news.ycombinator.com) — read top stories from the frontpage, extract a post's data and comments, or search stories via the Algolia HN search API. No authentication required. HN uses server-rendered HTML, so extraction works reliably without a browser (though a browser still works fine).
Search and read Hacker News stories, comments, users, Ask HN and Show HN. No API key. By UnClick.
