GitHub Analytics MCP — Repo & Trend Research

nexgendata-apify/github-mcp-server

Repo statistics, trending lookups, code-search queries, and dev-trend aggregation. For AI agents that need to evaluate libraries, monitor competitor projects, or surface emerging open-source tools. Distinct from the Developer Tools MCP — this one is GitHub-specific and goes deeper on repo analytics.
