OpenDigger

OpenDigger MCP Server enables advanced repository analytics and insights by exposing a set of tools and prompts you can use from an MCP client. It provides core metrics, growth trends, ecosystem insights, and health diagnostics to help you evaluate and compare repositories effectively.

How to use

You connect to the OpenDigger MCP Server from your MCP client and start issuing tools and prompts to analyze repositories. Start the server, then use the client to list available tools, run health checks, compare multiple repos, and explore trends and ecosystem insights. Look for indicators in your client that the server is online, such as a green status and the tool/project count shown in the server status.

How to install

Prerequisites: you need Node.js and npm installed on your system. You also need Git to clone the project.

Clone the project repository and navigate to the MCP server package.

Run the following commands step by step to install dependencies, build, and start the server.
