Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open RepoAlerts in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.repoalerts%2Fradar/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

search_repos

Search GitHub repos

Find real, actively growing open-source GitHub repositories for a need described in plain words ("a calendar MCP server", "free Photoshop alternative for Mac", "self-hosted analytics"). Semantic search over the RepoAlerts directory, which leaves out repos with fake (bought or farmed) stars. Use it instead of recalling package or repo names from memory, whenever the user asks for a tool, library, app, framework or MCP server. Returns for each repo: what it is, who it's for, stars and stars gained in 24 hours and 7 days, licence, last push, its RepoAlerts page and GitHub URL.

get_repo

Get a repo's RepoAlerts page

Everything RepoAlerts knows about one GitHub repository (owner/name or URL): what it is and who it's for, stars and recent growth, a summary of its star curve, licence, last push, the apps it can replace, Hacker News stories and similar repos. Use it to check a repo before recommending or installing it. If the repo isn't in the directory, it says so (it may be unknown or excluded for fake stars).

Parametersreporequiredlocale

find_alternatives

Find open-source alternatives

Open-source alternatives to an app, product or service ("Photoshop", "Notion", "Heroku", "Postman"), from the GitHub repos RepoAlerts tracks, with real star counts and growth. Optionally for a platform or constraint ("Mac", "self-hosted"). Repos whose own page lists that app as something they replace come first.

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.
