- Filter by programming language (Python, TypeScript, Rust, etc.)
- Filter by time period (daily, weekly, monthly)
- Rich response format with keyword match details and locations
- Runs as a standard MCP server over stdio

## Installation

### From PyPI

```bash
pip install yw-github-trending-mcp
```

### From Source

```bash
git clone https://github.com/snyangwei2/yw-github-trending-mcp.git
cd yw-github-trending-mcp
pip install -e .
```

## Configuration

Add the server to your MCP client configuration. Below are examples for Claude Desktop.

### Claude Desktop (macOS)

Edit `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "github-trending": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "github_trending_mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

### Claude Desktop (Windows)

Edit `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "github-trending": {
      "command": "cmd",
      "args": ["/c", "python", "-m", "github_trending_mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

> **Tip:** If you installed the package in a virtual environment, use the full path to the Python binary instead of just `"python"`.

## Usage

Once configured, you can ask your MCP client natural language questions like:

- "Show me trending MCP repositories on GitHub"
- "What are the trending Python repositories this week?"
- "Find trending repos related to model context protocol"
- "Show me weekly trending Rust projects"
- "Are there any trending repositories about skills or MCP?"

The server will scrape GitHub Trending, filter results by your criteria, and return a formatted markdown response.
