MCP Badge

Keeping up with AI trends is exhausting.

Claude doesn't know what happened after its training cutoff. Ask it "what's hot in AI right now?" and you get stale answers. Tell it to scrape the web for you and you wait forever.

We scrape 12 sources every 6 hours, Sonnet summarizes the content, then Opus curates the top 30 items for vibe coders and AI builders. Connect via MCP and Claude pulls fresh, curated data instantly.

Real-time AI/tech news aggregator MCP server for vibe coders & AI builders — runs on Supabase Edge Functions, free, no auth required.

Sources: HackerNews · Reddit (ClaudeAI/vibecoding/codex/claudecode/openclaw/artificial/ArtificialInteligence) · GitHub Trending · HuggingFace Spaces Trending · Lobsters · GeekNews

Cache updated every 6 hours. Curated by Opus every 6 hours.


Quick Start — no install, no login

Claude Code CLI (one command)

claude mcp add --transport http ai-news https://iiwkkrvyhktnwolsfndx.supabase.co/functions/v1/mcp

Run this once. The tools are available in every Claude Code session from that point on.

Manual config — Claude Code (~/.claude.json)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ai-news": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://iiwkkrvyhktnwolsfndx.supabase.co/functions/v1/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Manual config — Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json)

What problem does this solve?

Problem

ai-news-mcp

Claude has no knowledge of recent AI news

12 sources scraped every 6h, always current

Asking Claude to scrape is slow

Pre-cached in DB, MCP call returns instantly

Raw news feeds are noisy

Opus curates top 30 every 6h — only actionable items for builders

Hard to know what the AI community is buzzing about

r/ClaudeAI, r/vibecoding, r/codex, GeekNews — real-time community signal

Reading repos and pages takes time

Sonnet WebFetches each URL and writes a 1-line summary


How it works

Every 6 hours:
  1. Sonnet scrapes 12 sources → ~150 items
  2. Sonnet picks top 10 per source → WebFetches each URL → writes 1-line summary
  3. Opus curates top 30 from ~100 summarized items (judges by content, not score)
  4. Saves to news_curated table

When you call get_top_picks:
  → Returns Opus-curated items with summaries
  → Falls back to algorithmic selection if curation unavailable
