How this service works
Queries live HackerNews discussions, front-page velocity, and developer sentiment on any framework, startup, or AI model. (Live x402 v2, IETF MPP & MCP endpoint at https://mcp-compiler.agentdiet.dev/v1/hackernews-trends)
Output
Returns an analysis of live HackerNews activity for the queried keyword, including front-page velocity signals, relevant discussion threads, and an aggregated developer sentiment reading (positive, negative, mixed) from the HackerNews community at query time.
Example use cases
AI model reception check
“Can you pull the real-time HackerNews sentiment on Claude 3.5 Sonnet? I want to know how developers are reacting to it and how fast it's moving on the front page.”
Startup buzz before funding pitch
“Before our pitch meeting, can you check what HackerNews developers are saying about Linear right now — any buzz, criticism, or trending discussions?”
Framework adoption temperature
“I'm choosing between Bun and Deno for our next project — what does the HackerNews developer community currently think about Bun, and is there a lot of active discussion?”

Endpoint
GEThttps://mcp-compiler.agentdiet.dev/v1/hackernews-trends?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, developer-community-specific sentiment from HackerNews rather than broader social media sentiment. It is ideal for gauging how technical audiences are reacting to a new tool, AI model, startup, or framework at this moment — especially useful before product launches, competitive analysis, or investment research targeting the developer ecosystem.
Side effects
- Empty or very niche query returns no matching HackerNews threads
- HackerNews API rate limits or outages cause degraded data freshness
- Ambiguous keyword (e.g. 'Go') may return noisy mixed results
- Generic terms return too broad a result set to be useful
- Response schema is generic object so structure may vary
