Overview
A tool to fetch and flatten Hacker News discussions into clean, readable markdown format, designed for use with AI assistants.
Installation
uv run hn_flat_mcp.pySecurity Notes
The server fetches HTML from a user-provided URL using the `requests` library and parses it with `BeautifulSoup`. This is its intended functionality. While making network requests to arbitrary URLs inherently carries a risk of exposing the host to external content, there are no obvious code injection points, uses of `eval`, or hardcoded secrets in the provided source code. As with any web fetching tool, care should be taken regarding what URLs are processed if the server is run in a sensitive environment.
