Community Research MCP Server
An MCP server that searches Stack Overflow, Reddit, GitHub issues, and forums
to find real solutions from real developers. No more AI hallucinations - find
what people actually use in production.
Features:
- Multi-source search (Stack Overflow, Reddit, GitHub, HackerNews)
- Query validation (rejects vague queries with helpful suggestions)
- LLM-powered synthesis using Gemini, OpenAI, or Anthropic
- Smart caching and retry logic
- Workspace context detection
