HotNews MCP Server provides real-time hot topics from nine major Chinese platforms through the MCP protocol, enabling AI models and apps to fetch up-to-date trends with clickable Markdown output when needed.

How to use

You connect your MCP client to the HotNews MCP Server to receive live hot topic data from popular Chinese platforms. Use the server’s tools to request topics from specific sources, combine multiple platforms, and obtain topics with optional formatting. The data can be consumed by AI models, dashboards, or automation workflows. Start by choosing which platforms you want to monitor, then request the hot topics feed that best fits your use case.

How to install

Prerequisites: you need Node.js installed on your system to run the MCP server via NPX, or you can run the server in Docker if you prefer containerized deployment.

Option A — NPX (local development or quick start) Create the MCP server using NPX.

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

Option B — Docker (containerized deployment) Run the MCP server in a Docker container.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-server-hotnews": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "wopal/mcp-server-hotnews"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Additional setup notes

Development and build steps shown in the source include installing dependencies, watching for changes, building, and testing. Use these commands if you plan to contribute or customize the server.

If you prefer to run a self-contained build locally, you can follow the standard npm workflow: install, build, and then run tests or start the server as appropriate for your environment.

Available tools
