GitHub Organization Signal Scanner MCP Server

Smithery Glama score MCP Registry npm version npm downloads license mcpservers.org

An MCP server that resolves a company domain to its GitHub organization with repo, language and activity signals. It wraps the Mamba Labs GitHub Organization Signal Scanner actor on Apify and returns a Clay-ready flat JSON row to any MCP client.

What's Inside

Related MCP server: mcp-company-contact-details-extractor

What it does

Give it a company domain and it finds that company's GitHub organization and returns repository count, followers, creation date, top languages, total stars, the most recent push, how many repositories are actively worked on, and whether the company ships a public SDK. One flat row per company, read through GitHub's own documented REST API.

Forks and archived repositories are excluded from the language and star derivations, and the exclusion is counted on the row. A rate limited request reports not_extractable and never a zero, because a zero is a number a buyer would filter on. A login that resolves to a personal user account rather than an organization is reported as identity_mismatch. It reads organization and repository metadata only: it does not clone repositories, read source, scan for secrets or assess code quality.

All of the scanning runs on Apify. This package is a thin client that calls the actor and hands back the result unchanged.

Quick start

You need Node.js 18 or newer and an Apify account with an API token.

Add this to your Claude Desktop config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mamba-github-organization-signal-scanner": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@mambalabsdev/mcp-github-organization-signal-scanner"],
      "env": {
        "APIFY_TOKEN": "your-apify-token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Get your token at https://console.apify.com/account/integrations, paste it in, and restart Claude Desktop. The scan_github_organization_signals tool will be available.

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 18 or newer

  • An Apify account with an API token

  • Optional: your own GitHub personal access token, free to create at github.com/settings/tokens with no scopes at all for public data, if you want to scan more than a handful of companies

Example prompts

  • "Find the GitHub organization for stripe.com and summarize its activity."

  • "Scan the GitHub org vercel and tell me its top languages and total stars."

  • "Does figma.com ship a public SDK? Check its GitHub organization."

  • "Scan notion.so's GitHub org, counting a repo as active if it was pushed in the last 30 days."

Inputs

  • company_domain (optional): bare company domain, for example stripe.com. This is the lookup key and the join key for every other actor in the fleet.

  • company_name (optional but strongly recommended): what the identity gate checks a discovered record against, so supplying it is the cheapest way to reduce wrong matches.

  • github_org (optional): if you already know the organization login, for example stripe, put it here and the tool skips discovery entirely and goes straight to the API, which is faster and spends fewer rate limited requests.

  • includeRepoDetail (optional): when true (the default) the organization repositories are read and the language, star, activity and SDK signals are derived from them. Set false to return the organization record only, which is one request instead of several and is friendlier to the unauthenticated rate limit.

  • includeContributorEstimate (optional): when true one extra request reads the contributor count of the organization's most starred repository, as a floor on the size of its public engineering surface. False by default, because one extra request per company is real money against a 60 per hour unauthenticated budget.

  • activeWindowDays (optional): how recently a repository must have been pushed to count as active. One of 30, 90, 180 or 365, with 90 the default. This changes what active means on the row.

  • repoPageBudget (optional): how many pages of 100 repositories to read for a large organization. One of 1, 2, 3 or 5. This is a cost and completeness dial, not a change of answer: the row always reports how many repositories were sampled and whether the sample is complete.

  • githubToken (optional): your own GitHub personal access token, free to create with no scopes at all for public data. Without it the tool runs at GitHub's 60 requests per hour, which is enough for a handful of companies and not enough for a list. With it the limit is 5,000 per hour.

  • skipCache (optional): when false (the default) a successful lookup is cached for seven days and reused. Set true to force a fresh fetch.

  • max_charge_usd (optional): a cost cap in USD for this run. The actor stops before an item that could take its charges past this amount. Omit it to rely on the maximum cost per run set in Apify.

Output

The tool returns the actor's flat JSON row for the company, with 32 snake_case fields and no nested objects. github_discovery says how the organization was found, github_rejected_candidate records a candidate the identity gate turned away, repos_sampled and repos_complete say how much of the organization was read, and repos_excluded counts the forks and archived repositories left out. See the Apify Store page for the full output schema.

Read-onlyIdempotent

Resolve a company domain to its GitHub organization and return repository count, followers, creation date, top languages, total stars, the most recent push, how many repositories are actively worked on, and whether the company ships a public SDK. Returns one flat Clay ready row. Forks and archived repositories are excluded from the language and star derivations and the exclusion is counted on the row. A rate limited request reports not_extractable and NEVER a zero, because a zero is a number a buyer would filter on. A login that resolves to a personal user account rather than an organization is reported as identity_mismatch. Read only; requires an APIFY_TOKEN and consumes Apify credits per call.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
skipCacheNoWhen false (default) a successful lookup is cached for seven days and reused, which costs you nothing on a repeated run. Set true to force a fresh fetch.
github_orgNoOptional. If you already know the organization login, for example "stripe", put it here and the actor skips discovery entirely and goes straight to the API, which is faster and spends fewer of your rate limited requests.
githubTokenNoYOUR OWN GitHub personal access token, free to create at github.com/settings/tokens with no scopes at all for public data. OPTIONAL: without it the actor runs at GitHub 60 requests per hour, which is enough for a handful of companies and not enough for a list. With it the limit is 5,000 per hour. A token passed here travels in the tool call and stays in the chat transcript, so prefer setting GITHUB_TOKEN in this server's environment: when this argument is omitted the server sends that variable instead.
company_nameNoOptional but strongly recommended. It is what the identity gate checks a discovered record against, so supplying it is the single cheapest way to reduce wrong matches.
company_domainNoBare company domain, for example stripe.com. This is the only required input and it is the join key for every other actor in the fleet.
repoPageBudgetNoHow many pages of 100 repositories to read for a large organization. This is a cost and completeness dial, not a change of answer: the row always reports how many repositories were actually sampled and whether the sample is complete.
activeWindowDaysNoHow recently a repository must have been pushed to count as active. 90 days by default. This changes what "active" means on the row, so pick the window your own definition of an engaged engineering team uses.
includeRepoDetailNoWhen true (default) the organization repositories are read and the language, star, activity and SDK signals are derived from them. Set false to return the organization record only, which is one request instead of several and is much friendlier to the unauthenticated rate limit.
includeContributorEstimateNoWhen true the actor spends one extra request to read the contributor count of the organization most starred repository, as a floor on the size of its public engineering surface. Default false, because one extra request per company is real money against a 60 per hour unauthenticated budget.

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already cover the safety profile (readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint=false), and the description goes well beyond them: rate-limited requests report not_extractable and 'NEVER a zero,' a personal-account match is flagged identity_mismatch, forks/archived repos are excluded and counted, and it discloses an APIFY_TOKEN requirement plus per-call Apify credit spend. This is exactly the extra behavioral context the lower bar asks for.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description front-loads the purpose and return shape before moving to failure modes and auth, and every sentence carries information. It is dense in places — the return-field list is a long comma chain — but for a 9-parameter tool with no output schema it wastes little.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

There is no output schema, so the description carries the return-value burden itself and does so: it lists the fields, explains the sentinel values (not_extractable, identity_mismatch), and states the fork/archive exclusion accounting. Combined with auth requirements and credit cost, an agent has everything needed to call this correctly.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, and the per-parameter schema text is itself unusually rich (defaults, cost tradeoffs, rate-limit math), so the baseline of 3 applies. The body text does not add syntax or format detail beyond what the schema already documents for each argument.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The opening sentence names a specific verb and resource ('Resolve a company domain to its GitHub organization') and then enumerates the exact signals returned: repository count, followers, creation date, top languages, total stars, most recent push, active repo count, and public SDK presence. An agent knows precisely what this tool produces without opening any other field.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

It gives clear operational context on how to invoke it well — prefer the environment GITHUB_TOKEN over the inline argument for transcript safety, set skipCache=true to force a fresh fetch, and supply company_name as 'the single cheapest way to reduce wrong matches.' With no sibling tools there is no alternative to route against, so the absence of a when-not clause is expected rather than a gap.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Scored across 1 tool

Disambiguation5/5

There is only one tool, so there is no possibility of misselection or overlapping purposes. An agent will always pick the correct (and only) tool for this server's scope.

Naming Consistency5/5

The single name, scan_github_organization_signals, follows a clear verb_noun snake_case convention that is self-consistent. There is no mixed style or ambiguity in the naming.

Tool Count3/5

The server is intentionally a single-purpose scanner returning one flat row, so one tool is defensible and nothing is redundant. However, one tool is thin: there is no batch or multi-domain entry point, so scope flexibility is limited.

Completeness4/5

For a read-only signal scanner, the surface is quite complete: it aggregates org resolution, repo counts, languages, stars, activity, SDK presence, exclusion counts, and error states into one row. Minor gaps exist (no bulk/batch scanning of multiple domains and no follow-up detail drill-down), but core use cases are covered.
