HackList tools (8)

write = sends, deletes, buys or posts
  • best_opportunitiesFree

    Ranks open HackList opportunities for a specific builder and explains each pick. Favours specific briefs (a named API, dataset, metric or protocol) over generic 'build anything with AI' events, weighs prize size and whether it is real cash, deadline runway and accessibility, collapses duplicate listings, and drops events the builder can't enter (students only, region-locked, in-person, partners only). Returns why each one ranks and what to watch out for.

  • closing_soonFree

    Open listings whose deadline is within N days, soonest first, with the prize and whether it's worth a sprint.

  • fetchFree

    Fetch the full HackList listing for an id returned by search. (Compatibility tool for ChatGPT connectors and deep research.)

  • get_opportunityFree

    Full details for one HackList listing: brief, prize (with USD estimate and cash vs credits), deadline and days left, when it was posted/updated on HackList, apply link, eligibility traps (students only, region-locked, in-person, approval needed) and duplicate listings. Accepts a HackList URL, an id, or a title.

  • hacklist_overviewFree

    A snapshot of HackList right now: how many open listings by type and category, total listed prize money, the biggest prizes, duplicate listings found, and how fresh/complete this server's data is. Pass refresh=true to re-fetch.

  • searchFree

    Search open HackList hackathons, grants and programs by keyword. Returns ids to pass to fetch. (Compatibility tool for ChatGPT connectors and deep research.)

  • search_opportunitiesFree

    Search and filter HackList's AI & Web3 hackathons, grants, bounties and programs. Filters by keyword, type, category, format, prize, how soon it closes and how recently it was posted or updated. Duplicate listings of the same event are collapsed by default. Use get_opportunity for the full brief and eligibility details of a result.

  • whats_newFree

    Listings posted or updated on HackList in the last N days, newest first. Useful for 'what got added this week'. Uses HackList's own posted date when the site exposes it, otherwise its sitemap last-modified time.

What the publisher says

From the HackList repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

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:

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

Tools

All tools are read-only.
