@hublens/mcp-server

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for HubLens — query trending open-source projects and AI-generated summaries from Claude, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible AI tools.

HubLens automatically detects trending OSS on GitHub and Hacker News daily, then generates EN/ZH summaries, categories, and scoring via Vertex AI (Gemini). This MCP server wraps the HubLens Public REST API so any AI agent can ground its OSS recommendations in fresh, structured, multi-day data.

Install

# Claude Code
claude mcp add hublens -- npx -y @hublens/mcp-server

For Claude Desktop or other clients, add to your MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hublens": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@hublens/mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

No API key required. The server calls public, cached endpoints rate-limited to 60 req/hr per IP.
