Lobsters MCP — stories and discussions from lobste.rs

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 250+ live data sources.

Tool	Description
`get_hottest`	Get trending stories from Lobsters. Returns title, URL, score, comment count, and tags for each story.
`get_newest`	Get latest stories posted to Lobsters. Returns title, URL, publication time, score, and tags for each story.
`get_story`	Fetch a single story and all its comments by ID (e.g., "abc123"). Returns title, URL, text, score, and nested comment threads.
`get_tag`	Search stories by tag (e.g., "rust", "programming", "security"). Returns matching stories with titles, URLs, scores, and tags.

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lobsters": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/lobsters/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 250+ data sources:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Lobsters data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
