HotRepo MCP server
Ask your AI assistant what’s worth watching on GitHub.

Questions
What counts as a tool call?
Each time your assistant calls one of HotRepo's tools. Connecting and listing tools are not counted, and calls that fail are not counted.
When does the daily quota reset?
Every day at 00:00 UTC. All API keys on your account share one quota.
Which clients are supported?
Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex, Gemini CLI and Windsurf connect directly with an Authorization header; Claude Desktop connects through mcp-remote. Setup for each is under the connect steps above. ChatGPT and the claude.ai web connectors require OAuth sign-in, which is not supported yet.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel from Manage subscription on your account page. Pro stays active until the end of the billing period you have paid for, then your account returns to Free.
How is payment handled?
Payments are processed by Stripe; HotRepo never sees your card details. Prices are in US dollars.
