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/yc-launch-tracker)
Output
Returns live HackerNews discussion data including post counts, front-page velocity metrics, and aggregated developer sentiment signals (positive/negative/neutral tone) for the queried keyword, surfacing relevant thread titles and community reaction patterns.
Example use cases
Pre-investment startup community check
“Before I write this check, can you pull up what HackerNews developers are saying about Pika Labs right now — any red flags, hype, or notable criticisms in the discussions?”
Framework adoption pulse for engineering decision
“We're deciding between Bun and Deno for our new project — can you check the live HackerNews sentiment and discussion velocity for both so I can see which one the dev community is currently more enthusiastic about?”
YC launch tracker for founder PR monitoring
“My startup Reflect just launched on HackerNews — can you check how it's trending, what the front-page velocity looks like, and what the overall developer sentiment is in the comments?”

Endpoint
GEThttps://mcp-security.agentdiet.dev/v1/yc-launch-tracker?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time developer community opinion and HackerNews-specific discussion velocity on a technology, startup, or AI model — especially useful for YC-adjacent companies, open source libraries, and AI tools where HackerNews is a primary signal. Prefer over general web search when you want structured sentiment rather than raw articles, and over Twitter/Reddit tools when the HackerNews developer demographic is specifically relevant.
Side effects
- Empty or very niche query returns no matching HackerNews discussions
- Rate limiting if called too frequently within a short window
- Ambiguous keyword (e.g. 'apple') may return mixed unrelated results
- Network timeout if HackerNews Algolia API is slow or unavailable
- Payment failure via x402 protocol blocks the request
