MCP Server
Connect your AI assistant to real-time developer trends using the Model Context Protocol
What is MCP?
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that allows AI assistants to securely connect to external data sources and tools. The DevTrends MCP server dynamically exposes all available sources.
Server Endpoint
The DevTrends MCP server is available at the following endpoint. No authentication is required for public access.
https://devtrends.fyi/api/mcpSetup 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"}'Available Tools
The DevTrends MCP server dynamically generates tools based on available sources. Tools are auto-discovered from the database, so new RSS feeds added by admins automatically become available.

List all available data sources with their types (builtin, rss, or scraped). Use this to discover available feeds dynamically.
get_overview
Get an overview of trending developer content from all builtin sources (GitHub, HackerNews, HuggingFace, Reddit, InfoQ).
search
Search across all developer trends for specific topics or keywords. Filter by source and limit results.
Builtin Source Tools
get_github
Get trending GitHub repositories including name, description, language, stars, and forks.
get_hackernews
Get top stories from Hacker News including title, URL, score, and comment count.
get_huggingface
