Hotin MCP Server

What's hot in AI right now, ranked with receipts from GitHub, HN, npm and Hugging Face. This MCP entry surfaces a curated ranking/list from the project README rather than a classic multi-tool integration surface. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting AI & ML tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "hotin"
      ]
    }

02 · Evidence

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

repo age created 2026-07-20 - young repo, little track record yet

license Apache-2.0 - declared in the repository

pypi package hotin - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)

registry namespace io.github.abe238 is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

v0.8.5 · 2026-08-13

Follow-up to 0.8.5's sibling: rising_rows bypassed _clip, so the prefer-English clause and [zh] tag didn't reach the rising tab. Now every tab routes through the same chokepoint. Caught by live verification.
