# GitHub daily star history: an MCP database you can query from Claude Code or Cursor

Updated daily, last 2026-11-12 · MCP `data` · lib `github`

About 850,000 repositories with 50+ stars, with star counts recorded daily: 1-day, 7-day and 30-day gains, and whether a repo just emerged.

## What you can ask

- Which open-source projects gained the most stars this week, and which are brand new?

- When did this repo start growing, and are its stars suspicious?

- What new projects are rising in music generation?

These are example phrasings. Once connected, ask in plain language; the agent decides which table to query and how to filter.

## Example: a real query and what it returned today

Your agent calls the MCP `data` tool like this (you never write it yourself — you just ask):

```
data(lib="github", args="rising --days 7")
```

Repositories with the largest 7-day star gain, first 8 rows:

| full_name | stars | gain_7d | status | age_days | language | suspect |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| morluto/rea | 449543 | 23090 | 稳定增长 | 211 | TypeScript | 单日涨星超 2 万 |
| storytold/craft-anything | 25993 | 18237 | 新冒出来 | 11 | Rust |  |
| sherlock-project/sherlock | 108668 | 13181 | 加速 | 2879 | Python |  |
| pingdotgg/t3code | 55496 | 11526 | 稳定增长 | 276 | TypeScript |  |
| ccch1mneyyy/dsh-Go | 18619 | 11285 | 加速 | 17 | Dart |  |
| cloudflare/security-audit-skill | 69016 | 10943 | 稳定增长 | 146 | JavaScript |  |
| ClickHouse/ClickStack | 10016 | 9835 | 加速 | 364 | Shell |  |
| Ebony-Vinyl/dsh-our-free-model | 68649 | 9745 | 稳定增长 | 48 | JavaScript |  |

## How fresh the data is

This is today’s output of `coverage` (row counts and date ranges per table):

| t | source | n_rows | first_date | last_date | n_repos |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| built_at | 2026-11-11T03:47 |  |  |  |  |
| repo | census | 865543 |  |  | 865543 |
| repo | deeply | 1072 |  |  | 1072 |
| repo_profile 有 gain_1d |  | 860053 |  |  |  |
| repo_profile 有 gain_30d |  | 16510 |  |  |  |
| repo_profile 有 gain_7d |  | 856190 |  |  |  |

## Limits: what this data cannot tell you

Continuous daily snapshots start on 2026-10-29; earlier points are backfilled. Stars can be bought — suspicious repos are flagged, but not exhaustively.

**Connect these databases to your own agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex…)**

It is a remote MCP server: sign in with Google, paste one prompt and your agent configures itself, then ask in plain language inside your project. Free during beta: 200 queries a day, up to 50 rows each.

## FAQ

**How do I query it from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex?**
It is one library inside the Stringers remote MCP server. Sign in with Google at stringers.io/en/start.html to get a personal URL, paste the prompt to your agent and it configures itself; then just ask — the agent calls the data tool with lib "github".

**Is it free?**
Free during beta: 200 queries per account per day, up to 50 rows per query.
