Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Upstar 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/dev.upstar%2Fupstar/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

emerging

Emerging repositories

Small GitHub repositories (under 1,000 stars a week ago, at least 30 days old) gaining stars at least twice as fast as in a usual week, by that ratio; optionally in one topic. The same list as Upstar's Emerging page (or the topic's Emerging tab).

Parameterslanglimittopicdetailoffset

get_collection

A collection's ranking

A collection's ranking (score = momentum and health with the collection's weights) and its rising newcomers under 90 days old: the same lists as the collection's page on Upstar.

Parameterslanglimitdetailoffsetcollectionrequired

get_repo

A repository's facts

One GitHub repository as Upstar sees it, the same facts as its Upstar page: stars and gains, its usual week, its star total week by week over 12 weeks, its topics and ranks, when Upstar spotted it, its latest release, license, activity and collections. Answers for every repository with an Upstar page, kept-out ones included; blocked ones have none.

Parameterslangreporequireddetail

Upstar's collections: open-source tools that do one job, or alternatives to one product, each ranked by momentum and health. Use a slug with get_collection.

Parameterskindlangdetail

list_topics

List Upstar's topics

Parameterslanglimitdetail

topic_ranking

A topic's ranking

Ranks a topic's GitHub repositories by star velocity (stars gained ÷ √stars before) over the last 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days, with the stars each gained: the same list as the topic's page on Upstar. Page with offset (next_offset).

83% of the applicable checks met

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.
