Common questions

Is Githunt MCP 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?

You need to fill in: GITHUNT_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.2.1) reached the registry 4 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

githunt-mcp

An MCP server that gives your AI assistant a recruiter's view of GitHub. It wraps GitHunt's API so Claude, Cursor, and other MCP clients can search a pre-indexed pool of GitHub developers, look up a ranked profile, and run deep AI analysis on a candidate - all from a chat prompt.

Ask *"find backend engineers in Berlin who know Go and Kubernetes"* and get back a ranked, scored shortlist with activity signals and contact info.

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.

Quickstart

Grab an API key from your GitHunt account.
Run the server:

   GITHUNT_API_KEY=your-key-here npx githunt-mcp

Wire it into your client (see below), then just ask.

Environment variables

Variable	Required	Description
`GITHUNT_API_KEY`	yes	Your GitHunt API key
`GITHUNT_API_URL`	no	API base URL (default `https://api.githunt.ai`)

Claude Code

claude mcp add githunt -e GITHUNT_API_KEY=your-key-here -- npx githunt-mcp

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

"mcpServers": { "githunt": { "command": "npx", "args": ["githunt-mcp"], "env": { "GITHUNT_API_KEY": "your-key-here" } } } }

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json:

"mcpServers": { "githunt": { "command": "npx", "args": ["githunt-mcp"], "env": { "GITHUNT_API_KEY": "your-key-here" } } } }

Any MCP client that speaks stdio works the same way: run npx githunt-mcp with GITHUNT_API_KEY in the environment.

Try it

Once connected, prompt your assistant naturally:

*"Find senior frontend developers in Warsaw who know React and TypeScript."*
*"Show me hireable DevOps engineers in Poland with 5+ years on GitHub."*
*"Give me the next 25 candidates for that search."* (paging via offset)
*"Pull up octocat's GitHunt profile."*
*"Do a deep analysis of torvalds - proficiency, best-fit roles, any public emails."*
*"Search for ML engineers in San Francisco, then analyze your top 3."*

Tools

Tool	What it does	Speed
`search_developers`	Search GitHunt's pre-indexed pool by `location`, `role`, `skills`, `languages`, and more. Returns candidates ranked by fit with scores, activity, and contact info. Pages via `offset` (0-200). Returns a markdown table plus structured JSON. If a location matches nothing, it suggests similar supported locations instead of an empty page.	Fast (pool-served, no live crawl)
`get_developer`	Get one developer's ranked profile by `login`/`username`: overall, profile, tech-stack, and activity scores, experience, commit activity, top repos, and contact info.	Fast (cache-first)
`analyze_profile`	Deep AI analysis of a profile from live GitHub data: proficiency level, best-fit roles, and extracted emails. Use it to vet a shortlisted candidate.	Slower (live crawl)

Supported `role` values: fullstack, frontend, backend, mobile, devops, ai-engineer, ai-orchestrator, ml-engineer, data-scientist, data-engineer, security, cloud, blockchain, embedded, gamedev, ios-developer, android-developer, sre, platform-engineer, qa-engineer, solutions-architect, cto, vp-engineering, head-engineering, engineering-manager, tech-lead, product-manager, director-engineering.

Skills are matched with synonyms (k8s -> kubernetes), and locations are normalized (SF, NYC, UK, Warszawa).

Full API reference: https://docs.githunt.ai

Scoring

Each candidate carries an overall score built from three dimensions, all surfaced in get_developer:

Profile score - bio, seniority signals, and account maturity.
Tech-stack score - how well their languages and repos match the requested skills and role.
Activity score - recency and volume of public contributions (commits, frequency, commit-message quality).

search_developers ranks the pool by fit for your query; analyze_profile recomputes proficiency and role fit against fresh GitHub data.

Quotas

Requests count against your GitHunt plan's quota. Every response includes your current usage (used / limit for the month), and a quota_exceeded error tells you when you've hit the cap. See your account for plan limits.

Limitations & responsible use

GitHunt reads public GitHub activity, which is strong evidence of technical work but far from the whole picture:

It's blind to private-repo, internal, and enterprise contributions - many excellent engineers have quiet public profiles.
The candidate pool is pre-indexed, so brand-new or rarely-active accounts may be missing; analyze_profile fetches live data for a specific person.
Public-activity signals can skew by geography, employer, and career stage.

Use this as a lead generator, not an automated filter. Treat scores as a starting point for a human conversation, not a hiring decision. GitHub is not the whole engineer.
