Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Download the maker’s .mcpb file

The link goes to the maker’s own file; we do not host or repackage it. Open the file and Claude Desktop installs it.

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add git-into-gsoc -- uvx git-into-gsoc mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "git-into-gsoc": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "git-into-gsoc",
        "mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

Common questions

Is git-into-gsoc safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.26.2) reached the registry 3 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need MCPB, Python (uv) on your computer.

What can I use instead?

git-into-gsoc

Find the [Google Summer of Code](https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com) (GSoC) organizations that fit you, the repositories that merge newcomers' pull requests, and the beginner issues nobody has claimed, with the evidence for each.

Try it in your browser · Install it · Connect your AI assistant · Read the beginner guide

Every season, many first-timers end up in a project that stopped answering, under an issue three people already claimed, or with a proposal that reads like a hundred others. The information to avoid that exists. It is just scattered across the official GSoC site, hundreds of ideas pages, and thousands of issue threads.

git-into-gsoc reads those sources for you and answers the questions newcomers actually ask:

You ask	It checks
Which organizations fit me?	The official list of organizations, each one's ideas page, and its past years in the archive
Will this project merge my work?	Whether outside contributors' pull requests (proposed changes) got merged recently, and how fast
Is this issue really free?	The issue's own history: linked pull requests, assignees, and "can I work on this?" comments with their dates
What should I do this week?	The program calendar, your shortlist, and the issues you follow

It reads GitHub, and GitLab for most checks. It never invents an organization, an issue, or a date.

Three ways to start

In your browser, with nothing to install

Answer four questions on the start page and get three organizations with the reasons they fit. The ranking is the terminal tool's own code running in your browser, on a snapshot of the official list, so your answers never leave the page. The first visit downloads about 8 MB. You can also browse every organization.

In your terminal, for the whole journey

On macOS, Linux, or Windows with WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux):

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/anandkaranubc/git-into-gsoc/main/install.sh | bash

On Windows PowerShell:

irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/anandkaranubc/git-into-gsoc/main/install.ps1 | iex

You need only an internet connection. If Python is missing, the installer offers uv, a free tool that brings its own Python, and uv adds its folder to your shell's startup file. The installer says what it installs and connects every AI assistant it finds. The install guide has the other ways, a preview option, and how to update or remove it.

Already use uv or pipx? Install the package from PyPI, then connect your assistants:

uv tool install git-into-gsoc    # or: pipx install git-into-gsoc

git-into-gsoc setup

Then open a new terminal and run the command below. It asks four questions like the start page, with your GitHub username in place of your experience. Press Enter to skip any of them.

git-into-gsoc start

In your AI assistant

To add git-into-gsoc as a plugin that updates with your assistant, run one line. Plugins need uv to start the git-into-gsoc server, which your assistant talks to through MCP (the Model Context Protocol, the standard way AI assistants use outside tools). For Claude Code:

claude plugin install git-into-gsoc --marketplace anandkaranubc/git-into-gsoc

Use it in your AI assistant has the line for Codex, GitHub Copilot CLI, Gemini CLI, Antigravity, VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and Claude Desktop, and how to update or remove each one.

Then ask in your own words, for example: *"I want to do Google Summer of Code. I know Python and like science. Where do I start?"* The assistant answers from the same live data as the terminal and shows its sources.

One-click buttons add only the server, without the skill (the written guidance that teaches your assistant the GSoC journey). They need uv too, and each installs the newest release:

From first look to first pull request

Each step is one command. The beginner guide explains every step and what to expect, and the website shows recorded runs of several of them.

Step	Command	What you get
Find your fit	`git-into-gsoc start`	Three organizations, each with the reasons it fits you
Read one closely	`git-into-gsoc org "NumFOCUS" --shortlist`	Its ideas page, chat channels, and past projects, saved to your shortlist
Pick a repository	`git-into-gsoc repos "NumFOCUS"`	Its repositories ranked by ideas-page mentions, beginner issues, and activity
Check it welcomes you	`git-into-gsoc repo OWNER/NAME --track`	Whether newcomers' pull requests get merged here, and how fast
Get your bearings	`git-into-gsoc orient OWNER/NAME`	Where the code lives, the test command its automatic checks run, and the house rules
Find a free issue	`git-into-gsoc issues --repo OWNER/NAME`	Beginner issues with no linked pull request, assignee, or recent claim
Check before you comment	`git-into-gsoc issue OWNER/NAME#123 --track`	Claims, linked pull requests, assignees, and recent activity
Open your pull request	`git-into-gsoc pr-check OWNER/NAME#456`	Your pull request checked against the project's own rules
Write your proposal	`git-into-gsoc proposal draft.md`	What organizations reject proposals for, checked against your draft
Come back any time	`git-into-gsoc next`	Deadlines, changes on the issues you follow, and new beginner issues

OWNER/NAME and the numbers are placeholders for the repository and issue you choose. git-into-gsoc --help lists every command, and most take --output json for scripts.

[!TIP]

These steps use GitHub's API, which allows only 60 requests an hour without signing in, and one pass through the table can use most of them. If you install GitHub's gh tool and run gh auth login once, git-into-gsoc picks it up by itself. Nothing else needs an account.

Why you can trust what it says

Evidence, not guesses. Organizations come from the official list and the public archive, and dates from the official site. Every ranked result says why it ranks where it does, and where that reason came from.
Honest about limits. A fit says how well the work matches you, never your chance of being accepted. Dates for a year Google has not announced are labelled as estimates. Sources and limitations says what each source cannot tell you.
Private by default. The tool reads only public data and never posts, comments, or opens anything for you. Your profile and progress stay in a file on your computer, and the tool sends no telemetry. The website counts page views without cookies. Privacy has the details.
No shortcuts. It will not mass-message maintainers, farm trivial pull requests, or write your proposal. It points you to each organization's AI policy and helps you do work you can explain.

How it compares

If you already use	What this adds
GSoC Organizations, the community archive of past organizations	A ranking for your skills and interests, the repositories inside each organization that merge newcomers' work, and the beginner issues that are still free. The archive is one of this tool's sources
Archives of accepted proposals	Links to them from `ideas`, next to each organization's own ideas page and its AI policy
goodfirstissue.dev, up-for-grabs, and other label feeds	A read of each issue's history, so you skip the issue three people already claimed
An AI assistant on its own	Real organizations, issues, and dates in place of guesses, with their sources

What we learned from other tools has the full comparison, with sources.
