"Save this to hamir with a note: read before Friday."

Tools

None of them change anything on hamir's server.

Tool	Returns
`search`	Articles matching a query, each with an id for `fetch`
`fetch`	One article: title, source, date, link and the snippet where allowed
`search_sources`	News sites, magazines and blogs by name, website or topic
`get_source_articles`	The newest articles from one source
`todays_coverage`	The stories the most sources are covering
`list_packs`	hamir's hand-picked packs of sources
`get_pack`	The sources in one pack
`save_articles`	One link that saves up to 50 articles, with notes, once you confirm in the app

Articles come back as headline, source, date and link. The feed's own snippet is included only where the source allows AI summaries. Article text is never returned, and results are capped per call.

Desktop extension

For Claude Desktop, this repo also builds a one-click extension: download hamir.mcpb from the latest release and open it. It's a small local bridge to the same server, so new tools appear without an update, and it adds settings for language and error reports.

Variable	Purpose
`HAMIR_LANGUAGE`	Language for pack names and labels, such as `uk`
`HAMIR_ERROR_REPORTS`	`true` to send error reports; off otherwise
`HAMIR_MCP_URL`	Another server to forward to, for development

Development

Terminal

npm install
npm run typecheck && npm test
npm run sync-manifest    # copy tools and languages from the server into manifest.json
npm run pack             # build hamir.mcpb

Privacy Policy

The full policy is at hamir.app/privacy.

Collected: each tool call's arguments (such as a search query) and the language setting. No account, name, email, cookie or device identifier. Your conversation is not sent.
Use and storage: arguments are used to answer the call and are not stored. Your IP address is used for rate limiting, in counters that expire within five minutes, and is written with your user agent to hamir's request logs.
Sharing: none. You can opt in to anonymous error reports ("Send error reports" in the extension's settings, or HAMIR_ERROR_REPORTS=true), which go to hamir's self-hosted tracker without your IP address, cookies or what you searched for.
Retention: arguments are not kept. Request logs (IP address, user agent and path, never arguments) are deleted after 30 days, and error reports after 90.

The code is MIT. The hamir name and logo (icon.png) are not covered: they identify the hamir app, and forks must use their own.
