Topics

AI Scout for truly available, beginner-friendly OSS issues.

Run directly via npx:

bash

npx mcp-oss-onramp

You can also run the server with a token directly in your terminal:

bash

MCP_OSS_ONRAMP_GITHUB_TOKEN="your_token_here" npx mcp-oss-onramp

Add this to your AI agent's configuration:

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "oss-onramp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-oss-onramp"]
    }
  }
}

True Availability: Checks linked PRs via GraphQL to filter out issues already being worked on.
AI-Optimized: Summarizes issue bodies for efficient LLM consumption.
High Precision: Targets beginner-friendly tasks even without explicit labels.

GitHub Authentication (Recommended):
- Set MCP_OSS_ONRAMP_GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable, OR
- Install GitHub CLI (gh) and authenticate via gh auth login.
Node.js: Version 18 or higher.

Note: The server works without authentication but will be rate-limited and provide lower precision (no PR cross-referencing).
