Common questions
Is Technews Port safe?
It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
What keys or codes does it need?
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?
It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).
Is it still maintained?
The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.0) reached the registry 7 days ago.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js, Docker on your computer.
What can I use instead?

technews-port
technews-port is a small reader for Hacker News that speaks to the site's own public APIs, so there is no scraping and nothing to sign up for. It pulls the ranked front-page lists (top, new, and best), any single item by its numeric id, and any user's public profile from the official Firebase API, and it searches story text through the Algolia HN Search API — the one capability the Firebase API does not have.
Story lists come back with the items already fetched, in ranked order, not just bare ids: the headline, author, score, and comment count are right there for each entry.
Install
npx @reneturcios/technews-port top --limit 10Or run the container image:
docker run -i ghcr.io/cloudcorprecords/technews-portThe container defaults to the MCP server (see below). Pass CLI arguments to use it as a CLI instead.
CLI
Every command prints JSON.
# The three ranked lists (default 30 stories, capped at 100)technews-port top technews-port new --limit 10 technews-port best --limit 5
One item, one user
technews-port item 8863 technews-port user pg
Full-text story search via Algolia (default 20 hits)
technews-port search "show hn" --limit 10
technews-port --version
Exit codes: 0 on success, 1 when the lookup fails (an unknown item or user, or an upstream error, named in the message), 2 for usage errors.
MCP server
One bin serves both faces. The mcp subcommand starts a stdio MCP server:
npx -y @reneturcios/technews-port mcpMCP client configuration:
{"mcpServers": { "technews-port": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@reneturcios/technews-port", "mcp"] } } }
Tools
| Tool | Input | What it returns |
|---|---|---|
get_top_stories | limit (integer, optional) | The current top stories: the ranked item ids plus each story parsed — title, author, score, comment count, URL, and timestamp. |
get_new_stories | limit (integer, optional) | The newest stories, same shape as get_top_stories. |
get_best_stories | limit (integer, optional) | The best stories, same shape as get_top_stories. |
get_item | item_id (integer, required) | One item of any kind (story, comment, job, poll): its type, author, text or title, score, child comment ids, and deleted/dead flags. |
get_user | username (string, required) | The user's public profile: creation time, karma, about text, and submitted item ids. |
search_stories | query (string, required), limit (integer, optional) | Stories matching the query, from Algolia: title, URL, author, points, comment count, and posting time per hit. |
If an id in a ranked list disappears between reading the list and fetching the item — it happens on a live site — the id stays in item_ids and the item is simply absent from items.
Development
npm installnpm run build # tsc -> dist/ npm test # node test runner over test/*.test.ts, no network npm run dev # run the CLI from source via tsx
The core takes an injectable fetch function, and the test suite routes a fake fetch by URL to hand-written payloads shaped like real Firebase and Algolia responses — the tests never touch the network.
