Githunt MCP Server

githunt-mcp

MCP server that wraps GitHunt's REST API, giving AI assistants access to GitHunt's GitHub developer search, profile lookup, and AI profile analysis.

Prefer zero setup? GitHunt also runs a hosted MCP server at https://mcp.githunt.ai/mcp - add it as a custom connector in Claude (Settings → Connectors) or as a remote MCP server in your client and sign in with your GitHunt account. No API key or local process needed. This package is the self-hosted (stdio) alternative.

Setup

Get an API key from your GitHunt account, then run:

npx githunt-mcp

Tools

• search_developers — search millions of developers available on GitHub by location, role, and skills. Supports offset (0-200) to page through results with maxResults, and returns structured content alongside the markdown table. If a location matches no known city or country, the result suggests similar supported locations instead of an empty page.
• get_developer — get a single GitHub developer's ranked profile by username. Accepts either login or username.
• analyze_profile — deep AI analysis of a GitHub profile (proficiency, role matches, extracted emails). Accepts either login or username.
