“Use “hn_get_thread”: Get an item and its comment tree as a threaded discussion, with child comments resolved recursively. Use depth 0 for an item-only lookup.”
“Use “hn_get_user”: Get an HN user profile with karma, about, and optionally their most recent submissions resolved into full items.”

How secure is the Hn MCP Server MCP server?
Every server in the gate directory has to pass the same four checks before your AI can touch it. Here's how Hn MCP Server holds up.
Official endpoint
Operated by Hn MCP Server (caseyjhand.com) at its documented MCP endpoint — not a third-party mirror or community re-host.
No sign-in needed
This server only exposes public data — no account and no credentials are involved when you connect.
Scanned before it goes live
gate checks every tool for prompt injection, hidden instructions, data-exfiltration hints, and over-broad permissions before the server is available through your gateway.
Watched for drift
If Hn MCP Server adds or changes tools later, gate re-scans and alerts you — before your AI acts on the change.
Connected in three steps

Add one gateway URL to Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client. One-time setup, about two minutes.
