MCP Server

Connect your AI assistant to real-time developer trends using the Model Context Protocol

What is MCP?

30 sources available(5 builtin, 25 RSS/scraped)
GitHub
Hacker News
Hugging Face
Reddit
InfoQ

Server Endpoint

The DevTrends MCP server is available at the following endpoint. No authentication is required for public access.

https://devtrends.fyi/api/mcp

Setup Instructions

1Claude Desktop

Add the following configuration to your Claude Desktop config file:

  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "devtrends": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://devtrends.fyi/api/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Note: Requires mcp-remote package to connect to HTTP-based MCP servers.

2Cursor IDE

Add to your Cursor settings (.cursor/mcp.json in your project or global settings):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "devtrends": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://devtrends.fyi/api/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

3Claude Code (CLI)

Add to your Claude Code configuration file at ~/.claude/settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "devtrends": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://devtrends.fyi/api/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

4Other MCP Clients

For other MCP-compatible clients, use the HTTP transport with the endpoint URL. The server implements the standard MCP protocol over HTTP POST requests with JSON-RPC 2.0.

# Example: Test the server with curl
curl -X POST https://devtrends.fyi/api/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'
