Connects Claude to Hacker News through two straightforward tools: get_top_stories pulls the current front page with scores, authors, and comment counts, while get_item fetches individual stories or comments by ID with full text and replies. Runs as a hosted service through Pipeworx's gateway at gateway.pipeworx.io, so no local setup required. The ask_pipeworx wrapper lets you skip manual tool calls and just ask questions in plain English. Useful when you want to pull HN discussions into your workflow, track trending topics, or grab story details without opening a browser. Part of a larger gateway offering 673+ data sources if you need to expand beyond HN.
