Repolode MCP

A remote MCP server that allows AI agents to search a curated directory of open-source GitHub projects, retrieve detailed write-ups, find open-source alternatives to commercial products, and view trending repositories. It provides tools for discovering developer tools, AI agents, and self-hosted applications with daily-updated data.

Endpoint and access

Server-provided instructions

Untrusted server output shown for inspection. It is not Koskamo guidance and is excluded from knowledge search.

Repolode is a curated directory of open-source GitHub projects for developers who build with AI, screened daily and explained in 7 languages. Use search_repos to find projects, get_repo for a project's details (summary, features, quick start, limitations, license), find_alternatives for open-source replacements of a commercial product, trending for this week's fastest-growing projects, and list_collections / get_collection for topic lists. Pass locale (zh, en, ja, ko, es, pt, ru) to get text in that language.

Connect from your client

Each snippet registers the same endpoint; pick the client you use.

This server is operated by the named third party. Listing and endpoint checks are not an endorsement or a security audit. Review the operator's permissions, terms, and data handling before connecting. How listings are checked and corrected.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers the remote server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.

Claude Code configuration

claude mcp add --transport http repolode-mcp https://repolode.com/mcp

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).

Codex configuration

codex mcp add repolode-mcp --url https://repolode.com/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable repolode-mcp in your MCP settings.

Cursor configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "repolode-mcp": {
      "url": "https://repolode.com/mcp"
    }

Gemini CLI configuration

gemini mcp add --transport http repolode-mcp https://repolode.com/mcp

Claude Desktop

Merge this into claude_desktop_config.json (macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/, Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\), then restart Claude Desktop.
