# Seismograph for GitHub (gitnova.dev)

> Finds GitHub repositories whose stars are growing unusually fast right now and explains in plain language what each project is and what it is useful for. Updated every 30 minutes, in English and Russian. Everything below is free, read-only and needs no API key.

How to read the data:
- Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
- “Stars so far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast. Days are UTC.
- Star-trust labels (organic / unusual / likely inflated) are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.
- Summaries and “useful for” lists are written by an LLM from the README and may be inaccurate. Verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware requirements) in the repository before relying on them.

## Start here

- [Top repositories right now](https://gitnova.dev/en/index.md): Markdown, top 50 by magnitude with one-line summaries and links to full cards
- [Search API](https://gitnova.dev/api/v1/search?q=email+classification&limit=10): JSON. Find repositories by task, topic or keyword (matches names, topics, summaries and use cases in both languages). Parameters: q, category, language, min_magnitude, max_age_days, sort (relevance, magnitude, today, stars, newest), limit (≤100), lang (en, ru)
- [Repository card](https://gitnova.dev/en/r/zai-org/ZCode.md): Markdown card for any tracked repository at /en/r/{owner}/{name}.md — summary, use cases, why it is trending, star history, star trust, Hacker News. JSON: /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{name}
- [MCP server](https://gitnova.dev/mcp): Streamable HTTP, no auth. Tools: search_repos, get_repo, list_categories, get_day
- [OpenAPI spec](https://gitnova.dev/openapi.json): the JSON API described for tool builders

Any page is also available as Markdown: append `.md` to its URL or send `Accept: text/markdown`. Russian versions: drop the `/en` prefix (for example /index.md, /r/{owner}/{name}.md) or pass `lang=ru` to the API and MCP tools.

## Connect the MCP server

- Claude Code: `claude mcp add --transport http gitnova https://gitnova.dev/mcp`
- Claude (web and desktop): Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → `https://gitnova.dev/mcp`
- Cursor, Windsurf and other MCP clients: `{"mcpServers": {"gitnova": {"url": "https://gitnova.dev/mcp"}}}`
