Hacker News Companion
HN Companion MCP is a server that fetches and processes Hacker News discussions, preparing them for Claude to generate high-quality summaries. It analyzes the hierarchical structure of comments, scores them based on community engagement metrics (upvotes, downvotes, replies), and formats the data optimally for summarization. The implementation includes both a CLI for direct use and a JSON-RPC server that follows the Model Context Protocol specification, making it particularly valuable for users who want to quickly understand key insights from lengthy HN threads without reading all comments.
