    1 of 1 attempts returned a tool list in 30 days (100%). The bar is 99%. Need at least 30 samples.

  • Not measured
    Stable tool list

    Fewer than two successful probes in 30 days, so tool-list stability is not measured.

Access

  • Pass
    Open access

    tools/list succeeded with no credential, and the record declares none.

  • Not measured
    Standard auth

    Auth is not required, so the OAuth metadata check does not apply.

    Every tool description is at least 20 characters.

  • Pass

Capabilities

Tools 8

choose_project

Recommends open-source projects for a need (e.g. 'MCP server to query Postgres', 'self-hosted Google Photos replacement', 'terminal coding agent'), from Repolode's comparisons of similar projects: the default pick, strong alternatives and specialists, when to choose and avoid each, plus a scenario guide. Projects are judged on code substance, engineering, real usage (downloads) and maintenance, not stars alone. Falls back to keyword search when no comparison covers the need.

Discovered
compare_projects

The full comparison of one group of similar projects, by slug (from choose_project or list_collections): every project's role (leader, strong_alternative, specialist, newcomer_to_watch, me_too, wrapper, addon), verdict, when to choose and avoid it, with license, maintenance and download numbers.

Discovered
find_alternatives

Open-source alternatives to a commercial product or service (e.g. 'Notion', 'Google Analytics', 'Zapier'), most-starred first.

Discovered
get_collection

Projects in one topic collection, by slug from list_collections.

Discovered
get_repo

Full Repolode write-up of one GitHub project: summary, description, features, use cases, quick start commands, limitations, license, stars, what it replaces, and maintenance signals (recent commits and contributors, releases, CI, tests, issue responses).

Discovered
list_collections

Repolode's topic collections (e.g. AI agents, MCP servers, self-hosted apps) with their slug and project count.

Discovered
search_repos

Search Repolode's curated open-source projects by keyword, category or programming language. Returns name, one-line summary, stars, weekly star gain, license and links.

Discovered
trending

Projects that gained the most GitHub stars over the last 7 days, optionally within one category.
