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-security.agentdiet.dev/v1/hackernews-top)
Output
Returns structured data including live HackerNews discussion threads, front-page velocity metrics, comment activity counts, and an aggregated developer sentiment signal for the queried technology, startup, library, or AI model.
Example use cases
AI model launch community reaction
“Check the HackerNews sentiment and discussion velocity around Claude 3.5 Sonnet — I want to know how developers are reacting to it and whether it's trending on the front page.”
Startup traction signal from developers
“We just launched Linear — can you pull up the current HackerNews buzz, front-page velocity, and overall developer sentiment so I can gauge community interest?”
Framework adoption mood check
“What's the developer sentiment on HackerNews for Bun right now? Are people excited, skeptical, or just ignoring it? I want a pulse on the discussion activity.”

Endpoint
GEThttps://mcp-security.agentdiet.dev/v1/hackernews-top?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time developer community sentiment specifically from HackerNews — the canonical signal for technical founders, AI researchers, and early-adopter engineers. Prefer it over general social media sentiment tools when your audience is developers, when you want front-page velocity as a proxy for traction, or when evaluating how the tech-savvy community perceives a framework, library, startup, or AI model.
Side effects
- Missing or empty 'query' parameter returns a validation error
- Very niche or obscure queries may return sparse or no results if HackerNews has little coverage
- Rate limiting or upstream HackerNews/Algolia API unavailability may cause timeouts
- Payment failure (x402) will block access before the query is executed
