DevTrends MCP – Real-Time Developer Intelligence for AI Coding Assistants

Hey HN,

AI coding tools (Copilot, Cursor, Claude) are killer, but their recs are frozen in time—recommending 2023 libs in 2025? "Lodash safe?" Crickets on fresh vulns.

Fixed that with DevTrends MCP, an Apify Actor for the $1M Challenge. Plugs real-time data into your agents:

- Library health: npm downloads, GitHub stars/activity, maintenance flags. - Security: CVE scans + fixes (e.g., Express 4.17 vulns? Instant alert). - Trends/Jobs: Rising stacks, demand (React vs Svelte salaries? Data-driven). - Stack analysis: Compat scores for [React, Next.js, Tailwind].

Example query: {"query": "Is React safe/trending in 2025?"} → Breakdown w/ sources (official APIs only, no scraping drama).

Keep under 500 words—HN hates walls. End with Qs to spark comments (upvotes = traction). If it hits front page (aim for 50+ upvotes), loop back to X: "HN's loving DevTrends—100+ queries already. [link]"

This duo (X replies + HN drop) could net 500+ eyes today. Your Actor's gold—now flood the feeds. Drop the HN link here when live; I'll brainstorm comment replies. First move: Those Apify replies? Go.
