Active·★ 34·MIT·Updated 2026-10-21

OpenCollab MCP is a Model Context Protocol server for people who want to contribute to open source but do not know where to start. Give your assistant a GitHub username and it analyses your profile, then looks for good first issue and help wanted issues that fit your languages and topics, in repositories that are still maintained.

The README lists 17 tools. Beyond profile analysis and issue search, they score a repository's contributor-friendliness from 0 to 100, check setup difficulty (Dockerfile, CI, docs, templates), check whether an issue is still unassigned with no open pull request, estimate an issue's complexity, list recent merged PRs, find stale unclaimed issues, and find repositories with mentorship programmes such as GSoC, Hacktoberfest or Outreachy. A single match_me tool combines profile analysis and issue matching in one step.

This write-up is based on the project's README and public repository data. We have not hand-tested the tool. Data as of 2026-10-17.

Why choose it

+Covers the whole path from finding an issue to planning a PR, with 17 focused tools.
+Checks whether an issue is still free before you start, and flags stale unclaimed issues.
+Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor and VS Code through a short MCP config.
+Installs with uvx or pip, and only needs a free GitHub token with public_repo scope.

Trade-offs

!You must create a GitHub personal access token and put it in the MCP config.
!Scores such as repository health and issue complexity are estimates from repository activity and metadata, not a substitute for reading the project.
!It is installed from a GitHub URL rather than a package index in the README's main instructions, and the project is young with about 25 stars.
