China Hot Trending MCP

MCP serverSearch

hot-trending-mcp collects trending-topic boards from 8 Chinese platforms, including Weibo, Zhihu, Bilibili, and Douyin. Once added, your AI can check what is currently hot across these sites and summarize the latest trending discussions for you.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

After adding it, ask your AI what is trending on one of the supported platforms, such as Weibo or Bilibili.

Then ask your AI: use China Hot Trending MCP to query hot trending

What your AI can do with it

  • Show current trending topics on Weibo
  • Check hot discussions on Zhihu
  • See what is popular on Bilibili
  • Look up trending content on Douyin
  • Compare trending topics across 8 Chinese platforms

From the project's README

As published by boy-373/hot-trending-mcp in README.md.

Real-time hot-search & trending boards from 8 major Chinese platforms in one MCP call — Weibo, Zhihu, Bilibili, Baidu, Toutiao, Douyin, Tieba and Juejin.

  • Try it in 30 seconds: a free public MCP endpoint is already running — just paste the URL into your MCP client (no install, no API key).
  • Or self-host: a single Python file, stdlib HTTP + FastMCP, zero paid dependencies.

⚡ Use the hosted endpoint (no setup)

https://mcp.pianam.cn/hot-mcp/mcp

Transport: Streamable HTTP (MCP 2025-03-26 compatible). No authentication required.

🔌 Client configuration

Add this to your MCP client's mcpServers configuration (Claude Desktop claude_desktop_config.json, Cursor mcp.json, Cline, Cherry Studio, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hot-trending": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.pianam.cn/hot-mcp/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Clients that do not accept "type": "http" (some Cherry Studio / older Cline versions) accept the same entry with just "url".

🧰 Tools

ToolParametersReturns
query_hot_trending(platform="all", limit=20)platform: one of weibo / zhihu / bilibili / baidu / toutiao / douyin / tieba / juejin, or all (default) — returns the top 10 of every board at once.limit: items per board for single-platform queries (1–50, default 20).Each item: rank, title, hot (platform-specific popularity value), url. With all you get a platforms map plus a failed map (any degraded source never breaks the others).
list_platforms()Returns the 8 supported platform slugs with Chinese and English display names.

📡 Data sources, caching & limits

  • Weibo weibo.com/ajax/side/hotSearch, Zhihu api.zhihu.com/topstory, Bilibili api.bilibili.com/x/web-interface/popular, Baidu top.baidu.com/api/board, Toutiao toutiao.com/hot-event/hot-board, Douyin iesdouyin.com/web/api/v2/hotsearch/billboard/word, Tieba tieba.baidu.com/hottopic, Juejin api.juejin.cn/content_api/v1/article_rank.
  • All data comes from each platform's own public web/API endpoints — no API key, no login, no scraping of private data.
  • Implementation inspired by the open-source DailyHotApi project (MIT) with a thin stdlib-only implementation.
  • Results are cached in memory for 300 seconds; a failed source degrades gracefully.
  • The hosted endpoint is rate-limited to 200 requests / minute / IP (HTTP 429 beyond that).

🐢 Self-hosting

git clone https://github.com/boy-373/hot-trending-mcp.git
cd hot-trending-mcp
pip install -r requirements.txt
python hot_mcp_server.py
# the server listens on 127.0.0.1:8007 by default; override with:
#   MCP_HOST=0.0.0.0 MCP_PORT=9000 python hot_mcp_server.py
#   MCP_ALLOWED_HOSTS="your-domain.com,127.0.0.1:*"
#   MCP_ALLOWED_ORIGINS="https://your-domain.com"

Then point your MCP client at http://127.0.0.1:8007/mcp. No API keys or accounts are ever required.

🐳 Self-host with Docker

Option A — pull the pre-built image (fastest, no build):

docker run -d -p 8000:8000 --name hot-trending-mcp ghcr.io/boy-373/hot-trending-mcp:latest

Option B — build from source:

git clone https://github.com/boy-373/hot-trending-mcp.git
cd hot-trending-mcp
docker build -t hot-trending-mcp .
docker run -d -p 8000:8000 --name hot-trending-mcp hot-trending-mcp

Then point your MCP client at http://127.0.0.1:8000/mcp. The container listens on 0.0.0.0:8000 by default (override with -e MCP_PORT=9000 and adjust -p accordingly). No API keys or accounts required.

  • platform_names.json — Chinese/English display names of the 8 platforms (kept outside the code file so the source stays pure-ASCII).

🗂️ Files

  • hot_mcp_server.py — the MCP server (FastMCP, Streamable HTTP transport).
  • rate_limit.py — lightweight per-IP sliding-window rate-limit middleware (200 req/min default).
  • requirements.txtmcp, uvicorn, starlette.
  • server.json — official MCP Registry manifest (remote server entry, ready to publish with mcp-publisher).
  • smithery.yaml / glama.json — directory listing metadata.
