Description
一个通过Model Context Protocol提供HackerNews内容搜索、检索和分析的服务，适用于AI代理和开发者。
Usage Guidance
Review before installing. Only use this skill if you understand what upstream MCP service it calls, what tools it can invoke, and where the API key will be stored. Prefer a version that limits calls to documented HackerNews operations and gives an explicit opt-in before saving credentials locally.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The stated HackerNews purpose does not coherently fit the reported implementation: a generic client for an unrelated MCP API that can forward arbitrary tool names, MCP IDs, and parameters is broader than a HackerNews data service needs.
Instruction Scope
The instructions and examples reportedly contain stale cross-domain references and do not provide a clear HackerNews-only allowlist or parameter scope, making it hard for users to predict what the agent may invoke.
Install Mechanism
The package appears to include Python helper scripts rather than just documentation; no background installer or destructive install behavior is indicated, but the scripts materially expand the skill beyond simple read-only guidance.
Credentials
Network access to an external service may be expected for a data API, but arbitrary upstream MCP invocation is not proportionate to a narrowly described HackerNews lookup skill.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill reportedly asks for an API key and stores it in plaintext in a local .env file while also mutating process environment state, without enough user-facing disclosure about storage, retention, or removal.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install hackernews-search - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
