Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no tool list for Frontpeek: Hacker News Front Page + Mentions — stories, scores, links?

How do I connect Frontpeek: Hacker News Front Page + Mentions — stories, scores, links?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads.
