get_hot_news
Get hot trending lists from various platforms
LABSCO SUMMARY
One call replaces the tabs you open to work out what today is about.
The whole server is a single tool with a single argument, so the same call serves a quick check on one platform and a sweep across several. Nothing is authenticated and nothing is stored, which also means what comes back is whatever those lists say at the moment you ask — it is a read of the present, not a record of it.
What it is
A single-tool server that returns hot and trending lists for the sources named in the call.
What you get
- The current trending list for each source you name
- Several sources fetched together in one call rather than one request per platform
Requirements
The sources argument, which decides which platforms answer. There is no key and no account: the server declares no environment variables.
Setup effort
One command — npx -y @wopal/mcp-server-hotnews
USE CASES
01
Checking what today is about before you write
Name the platforms you care about and read their current lists side by side, which is a faster answer than opening each one and a different answer from what a search engine ranks.
1 tool
Counted once with only startup setup. Other versions, modes or optional credentials may expose a different list.
