Repo intel for AI coding agents: overview, PRs, contributors, hot files, CI, deps. Remote MCP.
Config is the same across clients — only the file and path differ.

Compress tool outputs, logs, files, and RAG chunks before they reach the LLM. 60-95% fewer tokens, same answers. Library, proxy, MCP server.
Pi Coding Agent extension (CLI-first) — routes bash/read/grep/find/ls through lean-ctx CLI for strong token savings. Optional MCP bridge can register advanced tools.
97% token reduction for AI coding sessions — zero deps, 21 languages, MCP server
One local source for the MCP servers, tools, and memory your AI coding agents share, synced into each tool's native config with a review gate and a receipt for every change. No daemon, no lock-in.

A hosted Model Context Protocol server that gives AI coding agents structured intelligence about any GitHub repository — overview, recent PRs, contributors, hot files, CI status, and dependencies — through a single MCP endpoint.
No local setup. No git clone. No Octokit boilerplate. Plug your agent into the MCP URL and start asking questions.
Local GitHub MCP servers exist, but they require every user to set up Node/Python, install the server, manage tokens, and keep it patched. This Actor runs on Apify's platform and is reachable as a hosted streamable-HTTP MCP endpoint — your agent just needs the URL.
It's useful when you want an LLM to reason about a codebase without giving it filesystem or shell access: think code-review bots, repo-onboarding helpers, dependency-audit agents, refactor planners.
| This Actor | Local MCP server | |
|---|---|---|
| Setup | Paste URL + token into client config | git clone, install deps, manage Node/Python versions |
| Distribution | Same URL works for every teammate | Each teammate sets up their own |
| Updates | Always latest server build | You patch + redeploy |
| Auth surface | One Apify token + optional GitHub PAT in tool args | GitHub PAT lives on every machine |
| Cost when idle | $0 (Standby mode, billed per call) | Whatever your laptop/server costs |
| When local wins | Air-gapped repos, on-prem GitHub Enterprise | — |

One conversation, six tool calls, no clones.get_contributors + list_recent_prs + get_hot_files on the target repo to know who you're dealing with and where the churn actually lives.get_dependencies across a list of repos in a loop, no shell access required, no risk of malicious npm install running on your machine.| Tool | What it returns | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
get_repo_overview | Stars, forks, language, license, topics, last push | "Is this repo still maintained?" |
list_recent_prs | Recent PRs with author, state, merge dates | "Show me the last 20 merged PRs by user X" |
get_contributors | Top contributors by commit count | "Who maintains this project?" |
get_hot_files | Most-modified files over the last N commits | "Where's the churn?" |
get_ci_status | Check runs and conclusions for a ref | "Is the default branch green?" |
get_dependencies | Parses package.json, requirements.txt, go.mod, Cargo.toml, pyproject.toml | "What does this project depend on?" |
Every tool accepts an optional github_token parameter. With no token you get GitHub's 60-req/hour limit on public repos. Provide a fine-grained PAT and you get 5,000 req/hour and can access private repos.
$0.005 per tool call. First 100 calls free per user.
Pay-per-event model — you only pay when a tool actually executes. No subscription, no minimums. The server runs in Apify Standby mode, so you're not billed for idle time.
The Actor exposes a Streamable-HTTP MCP transport at:
https://cg-nguyen--github-repo-intel-mcp.apify.actor/mcp
Authentication uses your Apify token via the Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_TOKEN> header — most MCP clients let you configure this in their server config.
