Hacker News Scraper
Pricing
Pay per usage
Scrape Top, New, Best, Ask HN, Show HN and Job stories from Hacker News via the official keyless Firebase API — title, score, author, comment count and links, no proxy needed.
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 API & Integrations in Apify Console.
{ "mcpServers": { "apify": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,pdcul/hacker-news-scraper" } }}The configuration above connects to the hosted Apify MCP server with the Hacker News Scraper Actor already loaded. It uses OAuth, so your client opens a browser window to sign you in to Apify on first use. No API token is needed. Clients without OAuth support can authenticate with an Authorization: Bearer header carrying an API token from API & Integrations in Apify Console.
Get a ready-to-use configuration for your MCP client with the Hacker News Scraper Actor preconfigured at https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,pdcul/hacker-news-scraper.
You can connect to the Apify MCP Server using clients like Tester MCP Client, or any other MCP client of your choice.
