Hn Tech Signal Mcp
Pulls tech intelligence from four public APIs: arXiv for ML papers, Hacker News via Firebase and Algolia for community discussion, Lobste.rs for curated links, and GitHub Search for trending repos. The seven tools let you query latest papers by category, search HN's full history with date filters, grab hot Lobste.rs threads by tag, and find trending AI repositories by topic and stars. The digest tool rolls everything into a single structured briefing. No auth required, though you can pass a GitHub token to jump from 60 to 5,000 requests per hour. Runs over stdio for Claude Desktop or as streamable HTTP for browser deployment. Built for routine tech radar sweeps, not one-off lookups.
