Introducing GitTrends AI v5.0: Real-Time GitHub Velocity & 1-Click MCP Discovery for Coding Agents

🚀 Why Traditional GitHub Trending Falls Short for AI Engineers If you build with AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Antigravity), you’ve probably noticed a major blind spot in developer tooling: discovery . GitHub's native trending feed is useful, but: It ignores velocity dynamics: A repo with 50 stars gaining 40/day is moving faster than a 100k repo gaining 5, but gets buried. No taxonomy for the Agent Ecosystem: There’s no native way to filter specifically for Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers , Agent Skills , or Local LLM frameworks . Coding agents can't read it mid-task: You have to manually browse in a browser, search, clone, and configure. To solve this, I built and just shipped GitTrends AI v5.0 — an open-source Swiss Editorial developer registry, real-time star velocity tracker, and automated intelligence engine. 🌐 Live Web App: https://jastfan.github.io/github-trending/ 💻 Source Code: https://github.com/jastfan/github-trending 📦 NPM Package: gittrends-mcp ⚡ 1-Click Coding Agent Discovery (Native MCP Integration) You don't even have to leave your terminal or IDE to find breakout skills and repositories. GitTrends AI ships with a native Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. For Claude Code: claude mcp add gittrends -- npx -y gittrends-mcp For Cursor ( .cursor/mcp.json ) & Antigravity: { "mcpServers" : { "gittrends" : { "command" : "npx" , "args" : [ "-y" , "gittrends-mcp" ] } } } Now, your agent can query live GitHub breakouts, star velocities, and curated MCP tools automatically while coding! 🌟 What’s New in GitTrends AI v5.0 1. 🏆 4 Numbered Editorial Leaderboards Rather than a cluttered raw list, the new dashboard categorizes the ecosystem into high-signal leaderboards: Agent Skills: Battle-tested plugins and tool recipes for coding agents. MCP Servers: Verified stdio and SSE server implementations. Ecosystem Marketplaces: Curated hubs and catalogs. Star Velocity Radar: Emerging breakout repos ranked by net 24-hour star surge (+stars/day). 2. 🎨
