Lets Claude or Cursor search AI news from aihot.news, show the top 10 hot events and read daily, weekly and monthly briefs.

This is the AIHOT site's own hosted server for its AI news feed, so there is nothing to install. It needs no account or API key. All eight tools only read, and the news is written in Chinese by the site. The server tells the assistant that titles and summaries are outside content, so check important facts at the original link.

Good for

  • People who follow AI news and want a quick briefing in chat
  • Developers and founders tracking a company, model or product
  • Chinese-language readers who want AI news summaries in their assistant

Permissions

low risk · 1 thing to watch

Low risk

The assistant can only read news from aihot.news, and it cannot change anything. Treat the text as outside content and check key facts at the original link.

What it can do

Watch out for

  • News text could try to steer the assistant

    Titles and summaries come from outside sources. The server warns the assistant not to follow instructions in them, so verify important facts at the original link. github.com

Questions

Is the AIHOT MCP server official?

Yes. The site aihot.news runs it, and the code is in the AIHOT repository.

What is the AIHOT MCP server URL?

https://aihot.news/api/mcp. Add it as a remote server in your app, as shown in the install box above.

Do I need an API key?

No. The server answers without a sign-in or key.

Is the news in English?

No. The site writes titles and summaries in Chinese, so ask your assistant to translate when needed.

Can it change or delete anything?

No. All eight tools are marked read-only.

Can I run my own copy?

Yes. The repository is a news-site framework you run with Docker, with your own sources, a model API key and your own MCP endpoint. It is a bigger job than using the hosted server.
