China Hot Trending MCP

Real-time hot-search & trending boards from 8 major Chinese platforms in one MCP call — Weibo, Zhihu, Bilibili, Baidu, Toutiao, Douyin, Tieba and Juejin.

• Try it in 30 seconds: a free public MCP endpoint is already running — just paste the URL into your MCP client (no install, no API key).

• Or self-host: a single Python file, stdlib HTTP + FastMCP, zero paid dependencies.

⚡ Use the hosted endpoint (no setup)

https://mcp.pianam.cn/hot-mcp/mcp

Transport: Streamable HTTP (MCP 2025-03-26 compatible). No authentication required.

🔌 Client configuration

Add this to your MCP client's mcpServers configuration (Claude Desktop claude_desktop_config.json, Cursor mcp.json, Cline, Cherry Studio, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hot-trending": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.pianam.cn/hot-mcp/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Clients that do not accept "type": "http" (some Cherry Studio / older Cline versions) accept the same entry with just "url".

🧰 Tools

📡 Data sources, caching & limits

• Weibo weibo.com/ajax/side/hotSearch, Zhihu api.zhihu.com/topstory, Bilibili api.bilibili.com/x/web-interface/popular, Baidu top.baidu.com/api/board, Toutiao toutiao.com/hot-event/hot-board, Douyin iesdouyin.com/web/api/v2/hotsearch/billboard/word, Tieba tieba.baidu.com/hottopic, Juejin api.juejin.cn/content_api/v1/article_rank.

• All data comes from each platform's own public web/API endpoints — no API key, no login, no scraping of private data.

• Implementation inspired by the open-source DailyHotApi project (MIT) with a thin stdlib-only implementation.

• Results are cached in memory for 300 seconds; a failed source degrades gracefully.

• The hosted endpoint is rate-limited to 200 requests / minute / IP (HTTP 429 beyond that).

🐢 Self-hosting

git clone https://github.com/boy-373/hot-trending-mcp.git
cd hot-trending-mcp
pip install -r requirements.txt
python hot_mcp_server.py
# the server listens on 127.0.0.1:8007 by default; override with:
#   MCP_HOST=0.0.0.0 MCP_PORT=9000 python hot_mcp_server.py
#   MCP_ALLOWED_HOSTS="your-domain.com,127.0.0.1:*"
#   MCP_ALLOWED_ORIGINS="https://your-domain.com"

Then point your MCP client at http://127.0.0.1:8007/mcp. No API keys or accounts are ever required.

🐳 Self-host with Docker

Option A — pull the pre-built image (fastest, no build):

docker run -d -p 8000:8000 --name hot-trending-mcp ghcr.io/boy-373/hot-trending-mcp:latest

Option B — build from source:

git clone https://github.com/boy-373/hot-trending-mcp.git
cd hot-trending-mcp
docker build -t hot-trending-mcp .
docker run -d -p 8000:8000 --name hot-trending-mcp hot-trending-mcp

Then point your MCP client at http://127.0.0.1:8000/mcp. The container listens on 0.0.0.0:8000 by default (override with -e MCP_PORT=9000 and adjust -p accordingly). No API keys or accounts required.

• platform_names.json — Chinese/English display names of the 8 platforms (kept outside the code file so the source stays pure-ASCII).

🗂️ Files

• hot_mcp_server.py — the MCP server (FastMCP, Streamable HTTP transport).

• rate_limit.py — lightweight per-IP sliding-window rate-limit middleware (200 req/min default).

• requirements.txt — mcp, uvicorn, starlette.

• server.json — official MCP Registry manifest (remote server entry, ready to publish with mcp-publisher).

• smithery.yaml / glama.json — directory listing metadata.

本地部署：

git clone https://github.com/boy-373/hot-trending-mcp.git
cd hot-trending-mcp
pip install -r requirements.txt
python hot_mcp_server.py
# 默认监听 127.0.0.1:8007，可用环境变量 MCP_HOST / MCP_PORT / MCP_ALLOWED_HOSTS / MCP_ALLOWED_ORIGINS 覆盖

Docker 自托管：

# 方式一：直接拉预构建镜像（最快，无需构建）
docker run -d -p 8000:8000 --name hot-trending-mcp ghcr.io/boy-373/hot-trending-mcp:latest

# 方式二：从源码构建
git clone https://github.com/boy-373/hot-trending-mcp.git && cd hot-trending-mcp
docker build -t hot-trending-mcp .
docker run -d -p 8000:8000 --name hot-trending-mcp hot-trending-mcp
# MCP 地址填：http://127.0.0.1:8000/mcp

容器默认监听 0.0.0.0:8000（可用 -e MCP_PORT=端口 改），无需任何 API Key 或账号。
