# AwesomeRepos > AwesomeRepos is a factual index of open-source GitHub repositories. It records the stars of each repository each day. It ranks the repositories that gain the most stars. It shows facts about maintenance, releases, and dependencies. These facts help developers judge if a repository is real, alive, and worth their time. AwesomeRepos is free. The pages with repository facts are public and need no account. Bookmarks, Saved Views, and the MCP server need a free account. The facts come from these sources: GitHub (the repository data, the star history, the releases, and the dependency graph), OpenSSF Scorecard, and deps.dev. AwesomeRepos calculates more facts from them: the Star History of each day, the Attention Score, the Tags, and the health facts. AwesomeRepos never says that one repository is "best". Promotion never changes a rank. Each page is HTML. The home page and each 404 page also answer in Markdown when a request has the header `Accept: text/markdown`. ## When to use AwesomeRepos - [Trending](https://awesomerepos.com/trending?window=7d): Use it to find the repositories that gained the most stars in the last 7, 30, 90, or 180 days. Filter with `language`, `license`, `topic`, and `tag` in the query. - [Repository page](https://awesomerepos.com/ollama/ollama): Use `https://awesomerepos.com//` to check if one GitHub repository is real and alive: its daily star history, last push, releases, license, health facts, and dependencies. - [Repository search](https://awesomerepos.com/repositories?q=postgres): Use `https://awesomerepos.com/repositories?q=` to find repositories in the index by name, description, or topic. - [Tags](https://awesomerepos.com/tags): Use it to compare a group of repositories, such as AI agents or databases, and to see which ones rise. - [Compare](https://awesomerepos.com/compare): Use `https://awesomerepos.com/compare?repos=/,/` to put the Star History and the facts of 2 to 5 repositories side by side. - [Weekly Report](https://awesomerepos.com/weekly): Use it for a summary of what rose in one week. It has RSS at https://awesomerepos.com/weekly/rss.xml. Do not use AwesomeRepos for repositories that are not on GitHub, for the source code itself, or for security advisories. AwesomeRepos shows facts, not recommendations. ## MCP server - [MCP server](https://awesomerepos.com/mcp-server): How to connect an AI app to the read-only AwesomeRepos MCP server at https://awesomerepos.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP, OAuth 2.0 with PKCE). A free account is necessary. - [Server card](https://awesomerepos.com/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json): The name, the address, and the tools of the MCP server, as JSON. - [OAuth metadata](https://awesomerepos.com/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server): The OAuth authorization server metadata (RFC 8414). Clients register themselves (RFC 7591) or use a client ID metadata document. - [Sign up](https://awesomerepos.com/signup): Make a free account with an email address or with GitHub. Tools: - `search`: Find repositories by their name on GitHub (owner/name), and find Tags (the groups of repositories by what they are) by their name. - `get_repository_facts`: Get the facts of one repository. The facts from GitHub are its stars, forks, last push, license, and topics. The other facts are its Tags, its daily star changes, and how fast its stars grow. The answer also has its maintenance and release facts, its dependencies in the index, and its newest releases. - `get_trending`: Get the Trending list, the same list as the Trending page, with the filters that the app gives. - `get_tag_changes`: Get what changed for 1 to 5 Tags in the last 7, 30, or 90 days. The answer has the repositories that got the most stars. It also has the repositories that got stars faster than in the period before, and the new repositories. If the app gives no Tags, the server uses the Tags in your Saved Views. - `list_saved_views`: List your Saved Views (the sets of filters that you saved). - `get_saved_view`: Get the repositories of one of your Saved Views. - `list_bookmarks`: List your Bookmarks (the repositories that you bookmarked), with the stars that each repository got in the last 7 days. ## Sections - [Trending](https://awesomerepos.com/trending): Repositories ranked by stars gained in the last 7 to 180 days. - [Tags](https://awesomerepos.com/tags): Tags such as AI agents or databases, with the stars each one gained this week. - [Repositories](https://awesomerepos.com/repositories): Search and filter every repository in the index. - [Insights](https://awesomerepos.com/insights): Charts of the index, and a Weekly Report of what rose, with RSS. - [Dependencies](https://awesomerepos.com/dependencies): The repositories in the index that the most others use, per ecosystem. - [Withheld](https://awesomerepos.com/withheld): The repositories that the lists do not show, in numbers, and the rule for them. ## Rules and facts - [Withholding Rule](https://awesomerepos.com/withholding-rule): Why the lists do not show some repositories. - [Health facts](https://awesomerepos.com/health-facts): How AwesomeRepos measures maintenance and releases. - [About](https://awesomerepos.com/about): What AwesomeRepos is, where its data comes from, and who makes it. - [Contact](https://awesomerepos.com/contact): How to send a question, an error report, or a removal request. - [Privacy](https://awesomerepos.com/privacy): What the site and the accounts record. ## Optional - [Sitemap](https://awesomerepos.com/sitemap.xml): Each page that search engines can index. - [Insights](https://awesomerepos.com/insights): Charts of the whole index.
