You can access GitHub trending repositories and developers data through a lightweight MCP server. It exposes trending content via a simple API, with flexible filters and well-structured JSON responses, making it easy to build dashboards, analytics, or tooling around GitHub trends.

How to use

You interact with this MCP server through a client that supports MCP endpoints. You can fetch trending repositories and trending developers, apply common filters, and rely on clean JSON output for easy consumption in your applications.

How to install

Prerequisites: Python 3.12 must be installed on your system.

pip install mcp-github-trending

Additional notes

The MCP server provides two ways to run locally or publish as a server. You can run a development instance or use a published runtime with the MCP tooling.
