DeepGit
Deep research agent to help you find the best GitHub repositories 🕵️!
DeepGit is an MCP server that helps AI assistants discover GitHub repositories through intelligent, intent-based search. Instead of simple keyword matching, it preserves the full context of requests, searches across multiple angles (keywords, topics, semantic vectors), and judges candidates using real evidence from READMEs and source code. The server exposes tools like find_repositories and deep_research that rank results by genuine fit rather than stars, surfacing hidden gems that traditional search would miss. It includes a persistent semantic index that improves recall over time and an adaptive pipeline that reads actual code only when confidence is low.
Key Features

DeepGit — FAQ
What is DeepGit?+
DeepGit is an MCP server that provides AI assistants with advanced GitHub repository research capabilities. It uses an adaptive agentic pipeline to search, rank, and analyze repositories based on intent rather than simple keyword matching, reading actual source code when needed to make high-confidence recommendations.
How do I install DeepGit MCP server?+
Clone the repository, install with pip install -e . (optionally with [semantic] for enhanced recall), set your GITHUB_API_KEY, and add the deepgit-mcp command to your MCP client's configuration file. For Claude Desktop, add an entry in claude_desktop_config.json with the command and your GitHub token in the env section.
Which AI clients work with DeepGit?+
DeepGit works with any MCP-compatible client including Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, and Windsurf. It supports both stdio transport for local clients and HTTP transport for remote integrations.
What API keys or prerequisites does DeepGit need?+
You need a GitHub personal access token (classic or fine-grained) with public repository read access, Python 3.11+, and credentials for an LLM provider (Groq, OpenAI, Anthropic, or Vertex AI). The semantic index feature requires the optional [semantic] installation extra.
Is DeepGit free to use?+
DeepGit is open source under the MIT License and free to use. However, you will incur costs from your chosen LLM provider (typically ~2 API calls per search) and GitHub API rate limits apply to your token.
What tools does the DeepGit MCP server expose?+
The server exposes check_setup for validating configuration, find_repositories for fast intent-based search with Markdown results, find_repositories_json for structured JSON output, and deep_research for high-stakes comparisons that always read source code.
How do I install DeepGit?+
Open the source repository on GitHub and follow its README. DeepGit is a mcp server — MCP Agents Market links you directly to the official repo.
Is DeepGit free?+
DeepGit is an open-source project hosted on GitHub. Check the repository for its license and any usage requirements.
