# Hacks/Hackers

> Nonprofit bringing journalists and technologists together to build the future of information experiences. Publishes posts and a newsletter on journalism, technology, and AI.

If you are an AI agent, please prefer the structured access methods below (MCP server, RSS feed, or the Markdown version of any page) over scraping HTML.

## MCP server

- [MCP endpoint](https://www.hackshackers.com/mcp): Streamable HTTP transport, read-only, no authentication. Speaks both MCP 2026-07-28 (stateless, per-request `_meta`) and 2025-06-18 (`initialize` handshake) on the same endpoint; call `server/discover` or read the Server Card below to confirm. Ten tools (search_posts, get_post, list_recent, list_by_author, list_by_tag, list_by_date_range, get_author, get_tag, list_newsletters, get_newsletter) and three resources (recent posts, tags, authors).
- [MCP Server Card](https://www.hackshackers.com/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json): Machine-readable discovery document (SEP-2127) describing the MCP endpoint and capabilities for pre-connection discovery.
- WebMCP: Browser agents that support navigator.modelContext (the emerging WebMCP API) will find in-page tools registered on every page: search_hh_posts, list_recent_hh_posts, and get_page_markdown.

## Content

- [Latest posts](https://www.hackshackers.com/posts/): Full archive of Hacks/Hackers posts, newest first.
- [Newsletter archive](https://www.hackshackers.com/tag/newsletter/): All newsletter issues.
