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 who work with developer tools, github trending and hacker news and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.
