README

hacklist-mcp

An MCP server that gives Claude and ChatGPT live access to HackList, the directory of AI and Web3 hackathons, grants, bounties and programs.

Ask things like:

"What should I enter this month? I write Solidity and Python, build agents, I'm in Nigeria and can't travel."
"When was the Qloo hackathon posted, and what's the actual cash prize?"
"Anything new on HackList this week over $10k?"
"Find ZK or privacy hackathons closing in the next 10 days."

Why it isn't just a scraper

HackList lists everything. This server tells you which listings are worth your weekend:

Problem on the raw list	What the server does
Same event listed twice (Amazon, GitLab, OpenCV, GenAI Works…)	Detects duplicates by title, organizer, deadline and apply link, and collapses them
"$190,000 total value" that is mostly AWS credits	Separates cash from credits clause by clause; headline shows the cash
₹, USDC, USDT, € prizes you can't compare	Converts to an approximate USD figure (original text always kept)
Events you can't actually enter	Flags students-only, region-locked, in-person-only, partners-only and application-gated events, and drops them from recommendations
"Build an AI app that solves real-world problems"	Scores each brief for how generic it is (0 = specific, 1 = generic) and lists the concrete hooks: named APIs, datasets, scoring metrics, tracks
Rolling grants and bounties with no deadline	Kept as open ("no fixed deadline") and ranked fairly instead of being dropped or buried

best_opportunities combines all of that with your skills and constraints and explains every pick (why) and every risk (watch_outs).

Tools

Tool	What it does
`best_opportunities`	Ranks open opportunities for a builder (skills, interests, country, student, can travel, cash only). Down-ranks generic briefs, removes ineligible ones, explains each pick.
`search_opportunities`	Keyword search with filters: type, AI/Web3, online/in-person/hybrid, min prize, cash only, closes within N days, updated within N days, include closed.
`get_opportunity`	Full detail for one listing by HackList URL, id or title: brief, prize (USD estimate, cash vs credits), deadline and days left, posted/updated date, apply link, eligibility, duplicates.
`whats_new`	Listings posted or updated in the last N days.
`closing_soon`	Open listings ending within N days, soonest first.
`hacklist_overview`	Counts, cash prize total, biggest prizes, duplicate groups, data coverage. `refresh: true` re-fetches.
`search` / `fetch`	The two tools ChatGPT connectors and deep research expect.

All tools are read-only.

Install

Claude and ChatGPT on the web (no install)

A hosted server is live, so on claude.ai and chatgpt.com you only paste one URL:

https://hacklist-mcp.samuelsuccess234.workers.dev/mcp

claude.ai (also syncs to the Claude desktop and mobile apps)

Open Settings → Connectors and click Add custom connector.
Name: HackList. Remote MCP server URL: the URL above. Click Add.
In a chat, open the tools menu next to the message box and make sure HackList is turned on.
Ask: "What hackathons are open right now?" or "What should I enter this month? I write Solidity and I'm in Nigeria."

ChatGPT

Open Settings → Apps & Connectors → Advanced settings and turn on Developer mode.
Back in Apps & Connectors, click Create.
Name: HackList. MCP server URL: the URL above. Authentication: No authentication. Tick the box saying you trust this application, then click Create.
In a chat, click +, choose Developer mode, enable HackList, and ask your question.

ChatGPT's deep research uses the search and fetch tools; normal chats can call all of them.

If you can't find the connector option, check your plan: Claude and ChatGPT decide which plans can add custom
