How this service works
15-App Autonomous Business-to-Agent (B2A) API Hub & MCP Suite. Supports Web Distillation, On-Chain Risk, DEX Token Intelligence, B2B Lead Enrichment, Domain OSINT, Email Verification, SEC Filings, GitHub Audits, Prompt Firewall, and native HTTP 402 (x402 Base USDC).
Output
Returns a JSON object with a 'data' field containing distilled Hacker News content, a 'status' field indicating success, and an 'roi_proof' object showing the compression_ratio_pct (e.g. 91.4%), demonstrating how much the raw content was compressed into the agent-ready payload.
Example use cases
Daily tech briefing for AI agent
“Give me a distilled summary of what's trending on Hacker News today — I want the top signals the tech community is discussing, especially around startups and AI.”
Topic-filtered HN intelligence
“Search Hacker News for recent discussions about WebAssembly and give me a compressed digest of the key threads and sentiments.”
Competitive landscape monitoring
“Pull the HN pulse and filter it for anything related to large language models or AI infrastructure — I'm trying to track what developers are saying about my competitors.”

Endpoint
GEThttps://mcp-compiler.agentdiet.dev/v1/hn-pulse?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a pre-digested, highly compressed intelligence feed from Hacker News rather than scraping raw HN yourself. It is ideal for agents that need to monitor tech community sentiment, trending topics, or developer discourse without spending tokens on raw HTML parsing. The built-in compression ratio proof makes it easy to audit efficiency in agentic pipelines. Prefer it over generic web scrapers when the target source is specifically Hacker News and token/cost efficiency matters.
Side effects
- Missing or invalid 'input' object returns a 400 validation error
- Payment not included or insufficient USDC results in HTTP 402 payment required
- Query parameter malformed or unsupported type causes rejection
- Upstream Hacker News data unavailable causes 503 or empty data response
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded may return 429
