You can access the Hacker News Scraper programmatically from your own applications by using the Apify API. You can also choose the language preference from below. To use the Apify API, you’ll need an Apify account and your API token, found in Integrations settings in Apify Console.

{
"mcpServers": {
"local-actors-mcp-server": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@apify/actors-mcp-server",
"--actors",
"gmgn/hacker-news-scraper"
],
"env": {
"APIFY_TOKEN": "<YOUR_API_TOKEN>"
}
}
}
}

Configure MCP server with Scrape Hacker News Stories with Date Filtering

You can interact with the MCP server via standard input/output - stdio (as shown above), which is ideal for local integrations and command-line tools such as the Claude desktop client, or you can interact with the server through Server-Sent Events (SSE) to send messages and receive responses, which looks as follows:

{
"mcpServers": {
"remote-actors-mcp-server": {
"type": "sse",
"url": "https://mcp.apify.com/sse?actors=gmgn/hacker-news-scraper",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_API_TOKEN>"
}
}
}
}

You can connect to the Apify MCP Server using clients like Tester MCP Client, or any other supported MCP client of your choice.
