This server wraps HackerNews with quality scoring built in. It exposes six tools: discover_stories filters by keywords and time, search hits Algolia's API, find_experts runs EigenTrust on the comment graph to surface domain authorities, and story_brief pulls threads in one shot. Every result includes a breakdown of five ranking signals: practitioner depth, thread depth, expert involvement, velocity, and reference quality. You'd reach for this when you want HN content filtered by substance rather than just points, or when you need to find who actually knows what they're talking about in a thread. The setup command auto-configures Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other supported agents by detecting their config paths.
