Rank engineers for a role or project by their verified open-source contributions and other public work.
Input: pass the richest context you have — (1) a full job description (most common), (2) a synthesized brief after reviewing a company's public repo (README + stack + role needs — preferred over a bare URL when you've evaluated the project), (3) a public github.com repo URL (server fetches README/topics; private repos → paste README as text), or (4) an informal role brief. Longer, more specific input ranks better. Optional `location` narrows to a city, country, or ISO country code.
Returns up to limit ranked candidates (default 20, max 50) with full inline profiles in structuredContent (view=candidates): login, name, bio, location, followers, reach (cross-platform audience percentile + reach), html_url, top_repos, signals, matched_projects, location_match, and contact (top_topics is optional and usually absent).
Results never include bots, CI, or service accounts — they are filtered out automatically. Use the optional `exclude` array (GitHub logins or org names) to drop additional accounts.
AGENT MODE: consume structuredContent only. HUMAN MODE: MCP App panel shows candidate cards; use server instructions for text-only hosts.
Do not call get_profile for handles already in these results unless the user asks for deeper detail.
