GitHub Repository Intelligence
Hosted MCP server that connects AI agents to GitHub's REST API for repo intelligence without local setup. Exposes six read-only tools: repo overview (stars, language, topics), recent PRs, top contributors by commits, hot files (most-modified paths), CI status via the Checks API, and dependency manifest parsing across npm, pip, Go, Cargo, and Poetry. Runs on Apify with streamable-HTTP transport at $0.005 per tool call after 100 free calls. Useful when you want an LLM to reason about codebases for onboarding, PR prep, or supply-chain audits without giving it filesystem access. Pass an optional GitHub PAT per tool call to lift rate limits and reach private repos.

Readme
GitHub Repository Intelligence MCP Server
A hosted Model Context Protocol server that gives AI coding agents structured intelligence about any GitHub repository — overview, recent PRs, contributors, hot files, CI status, and dependencies — through a single MCP endpoint.
No local setup. No git clone. No Octokit boilerplate. Plug your agent into the MCP URL and start asking questions.
Why this exists
Local GitHub MCP servers exist, but they require every user to set up Node/Python, install the server, manage tokens, and keep it patched. This Actor runs on Apify's platform and is reachable as a hosted streamable-HTTP MCP endpoint — your agent just needs the URL.
It's useful when you want an LLM to reason about a codebase without giving it filesystem or shell access: think code-review bots, repo-onboarding helpers, dependency-audit agents, refactor planners.
Hosted vs local — when this saves you time
