DevMatch is a remote MCP server that lets an assistant find engineers and scientists from public work such as papers, open source and patents, with linked, read
What you can do
Find and shortlist engineers, researchers or scientists from a role brief, job description or public GitHub repository URL, with optional location filter and up to 20 results, each linking its public sources. Retrieve a single person's profile with recent public activity by GitHub login, ORCID iD or a result id. Map the landscape around a seed repository by owner/name, returning similar open source projects and their top contributors.
When to use it
Useful when you need to source or shortlist technical and research candidates from public evidence, or to explore the open source landscape around a repository before searching for people.
Requirements
A remote MCP endpoint over streamable HTTP; no packages, environment variables or headers are declared. No authentication is declared. Network access to the remote endpoint is required.
Before you install
Results are built from public sources and profiles are not full career histories, so verify before relying on them for hiring decisions. All three tools are described as read only; no credentials are requested.
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/io.github.Luca-Blight%2Fdevmatch/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.
Use when the user asks to find, shortlist or source an engineer, researcher or scientist from public work. Input: a role brief, a job description, or a public GitHub repository URL; be specific. Optional location only when the user requires one. Returns up to 20 people, each with the public sources behind the match (papers, repositories, patents, awards). Read only. If nothing matches, the result says so (coverage not_covered): tell the user and do not invent names or emails.
Parametersinputrequiredlimitexcludelocation
get_profile
Get one person's profile
Use after find_candidates when the user wants more on one person, or when they name a GitHub login or ORCID iD. Input: GitHub login, ORCID iD, or the id returned by find_candidates. Returns one profile with recent public activity. Not a full career history. Read only.
Parametersidhandlerequired
find_similar_projects
Find similar open source projects
Use to map the landscape around a seed repository, for example before searching for people. Input: owner/name. Returns similar open source projects and their top contributors. This is not a shortlist; call find_candidates for that. Read only.
