You can run a Market.dev MCP Server that lets you search for open source experts and projects through the Market.dev API. It connects to Market.dev, handles expert and project queries, and can be configured to use a custom API URL. This server is started via an MCP client and exposes tools to perform searches against Market.dev’s data.

How to use

After you start the MCP server, you can use its tools to search for open source experts and for open source projects. Use query-based inputs to fetch relevant results, and apply optional filters like location for experts to narrow down results to specific geographic areas or remote workers.

How to install

Prerequisites: you need Node.js and npm installed on your system.

Ensure Node.js is installed on your machine. Node.js provides the runtime and npm the package manager you will use to run MCP servers.
Start the MCP server using the provided bootstrap command. This loads the MCP server directly from its package source.

npx -y git+https://github.com/market-dot-dev/mcp.git

Configuration and usage notes

The server uses the Market.dev API by default, which is accessible at the default endpoint. You can customize the API endpoint by setting an environment variable if you need to point to a different Market.dev instance.

When configuring your MCP client, include the following server definition to bootstrap the Market.dev MCP Server. This example is suitable for Claude Desktop or any MCP client that accepts the standard MCP JSON configuration.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "market-dev": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "git+https://github.com/market-dot-dev/mcp.git"]
    }
  }
}

Security and maintenance

Keep Node.js and npm up to date to ensure you have the latest security fixes. If you customize the API URL, ensure you are connecting to a trusted Market.dev API endpoint.

Troubleshooting tips

If the server fails to start, verify Node.js is installed, ensure network access to the bootstrap download, and confirm you can access the Market.dev API endpoint you configured.
