Setup
Install GitHunt in your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and others).
Repository: https://github.com/githunt-agent/githunt-mcp
Follow the installation instructions in the repository README, then restart your MCP client.
AnMCPserver that gives your AI assistant a recruiter's view of GitHub. It wrapsGitHunt'sAPI so Claude, Cursor, and other MCP clients cansearch a pre-indexed pool of GitHub developers, look up a ranked profile, and run deep AI analysis on a candidate- all from a chat prompt.
Ask"find backend engineers in Berlin who know Go and Kubernetes"and get back a ranked, scored shortlist with activity signals and contact info.

Grab an API key from yourGitHunt account.
GITHUNT_API_KEY=your-key-here npx githunt-mcp
Wire it into your client (see below), then just ask.
claude mcp add githunt -e GITHUNT_API_KEY=your-key-here -- npx githunt-mcp
{ "mcpServers": { "githunt": { "command": "npx", "args": ["githunt-mcp"], "env": { "GITHUNT_API_KEY": "your-key-here" } } } }
{ "mcpServers": { "githunt": { "command": "npx", "args": ["githunt-mcp"], "env": { "GITHUNT_API_KEY": "your-key-here" } } } }
Any MCP client that speaks stdio works the same way: runnpx githunt-mcpwithGITHUNT_API_KEYin the environment.
Once connected, prompt your assistant naturally:
- "Find senior frontend developers in Warsaw who know React and TypeScript."
- "Show me hireable DevOps engineers in Poland with 5+ years on GitHub."
- "Give me the next 25 candidates for that search."(paging viaoffset)
- "Pull up octocat's GitHunt profile."
- "Do a deep analysis of torvalds - proficiency, best-fit roles, any public emails."
- "Search for ML engineers in San Francisco, then analyze your top 3."

Each candidate carries anoverall scorebuilt from three dimensions, all surfaced inget_developer:
- Profile score- bio, seniority signals, and account maturity.
- Tech-stack score- how well their languages and repos match the requested skills and role.
- Activity score- recency and volume of public contributions (commits, frequency, commit-message quality).
search_developersranks the pool by fit for your query;analyze_profilerecomputes proficiency and role fit against fresh GitHub data.
Requests count against your GitHunt plan's quota. Every response includes your current usage (used / limitfor the month), and aquota_exceedederror tells you when you've hit the cap. Seeyour accountfor plan limits.
GitHunt readspublic GitHub activity, which is strong evidence of technical work but far from the whole picture:
- It's blind to private-repo, internal, and enterprise contributions - many excellent engineers have quiet public profiles.
- The candidate pool is pre-indexed, so brand-new or rarely-active accounts may be missing;analyze_profilefetches live data for a specific person.
- Public-activity signals can skew by geography, employer, and career stage.
Use this as alead generator, not an automated filter. Treat scores as a starting point for a human conversation, not a hiring decision. GitHub is not the whole engineer.
