4 tools

• hn_get_stories

  Fetch stories from an HN feed (top, new, best, ask, show, jobs), with title, URL, score, author, and comment count for each story.

• hn_get_thread

  Get an item and its comment tree as a threaded discussion, with child comments resolved recursively. Use depth 0 for an item-only lookup. A long thread comes back in pages: pass the returned nextCursor as cursor to continue.

• hn_get_user

  Get an HN user profile with karma, about, and optionally their most recent submissions resolved into full items.

• hn_search_content

  Search Hacker News stories, comments, polls, and jobs via Algolia — by keyword, by filters alone, or both. Filterable by content type, author, parent story, date range, and minimum points.
