Quick start

Claude Code

claude mcp add opengit -- npx -y opengit-mcp

Cursor

~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "opengit": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "opengit-mcp"] }
  }
}

Codex

~/.codex/config.toml

[mcp_servers.opengit]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "opengit-mcp"]

Claude Desktop, Windsurf and other MCP clients

Add a stdio server with command npx and args ["-y", "opengit-mcp"].

Clients that support Streamable HTTP can skip the package and connect straight to:

Tools

Tool

Arguments

What it does

search_repos

query, category?, interface?, ecosystem?, claimed?, limit?

Find repos for a task, ranked by match and then OG score

get_repo

owner, name

Description, interfaces, stars, OG score, ecosystems, license, links, and a claimed repo's payout address

tip_repo

owner, name, amount_usd?, network?

An x402 link that tips a claimed repo, paid straight to its maintainer

list_categories

none

Every category in the index, with repo counts

list_ecosystems

none

Chains in the index (Solana, Base, Robinhood Chain), with repo counts

list_builders

ecosystem?

Featured builders, the chains they build on and the repos they ship

trending

limit?, ecosystem?

Fastest-rising repos by stars gained this week

interface is one of MCP, CLI, Skill, Plugin, SDK, API, App, Harness, Library. ecosystem is one of solana, base, robinhood-chain.

The tools come from the hosted server, so new ones show up without updating this package.

Try asking your agent:

Find me an MCP I can use to decompile an Android APK.

What are the top security audit tools for coding agents right now?

Which agent kits and MCPs are there for Solana?

Who are the featured builders on Base, and what do they ship?

Tip $0.50 to the maintainers of the MCP servers I used today.

Tipping with x402

Claimed repos (those with an opengit.json payout address) can be tipped by agents. tip_repo returns a link such as https://opengit.cc/pay/<owner>/<repo>?amount=1, which answers 402 Payment Required with options on Robinhood Chain (USDG), Base (USDC) and Solana (USDC). Pay it with any x402 client or agent wallet: the payment settles straight to the maintainer, and OpenGit holds nothing.

How it works

opengit-mcp is a small stdio bridge with no dependencies. It forwards each MCP message to the hosted OpenGit server at https://opengit.cc/mcp and writes the replies back, so the tools always match the live index. Nothing about your project or files is sent; only the tool calls your agent makes.

What is OpenGit?

OpenGit lists, rates and surfaces open source for AI agents (4,700+ repos and growing). A collector indexes agent-ready repos from GitHub every 15 minutes, and every repo gets an OG score from how an agent can call it and how fast it is moving. Repos are grouped by category and by ecosystem (Solana, Base, Robinhood Chain), with crypto repos checked for bots, drainers and fake copies before they are listed. Maintainers claim their repo by adding an opengit.json with their wallet (opengit.cc/claim), and then people and agents can tip them directly.

    TDQS

    B3.4/5.0

    Scored across 4 tools

    Disambiguation5/5

    Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: trending surfaces rising repos, search_repos queries by task, get_repo fetches single-repo details, and list_categories returns taxonomy. There is no meaningful overlap in resource or action, so an agent can easily choose the right tool.

    Naming Consistency4/5

    Three of four tools follow a clean verb_noun pattern (search_repos, get_repo, list_categories). 'trending' is a bare gerund with no verb or noun object, a minor deviation but still readable.

    Tool Count5/5

    Four tools is compact and well-scoped for a focused repo index, with no redundant or bloated operations. Every tool serves a clear role in discovery or inspection.

    Completeness3/5

    Core discovery is covered via trending, search_repos, get_repo, and list_categories. However, list_categories exposes categories but there is no tool to list or filter repos within a category, creating a dead end; pagination and comparison workflows are also absent.
