DOCS

Warpchart's open layer: worldwide GitHub growth telemetry from a REST API, an MCP server for agents, and a CLI. Every endpoint is free and reads only the daily-refreshed caches, so it never burns GitHub quota and never rate-limits you. The per-repository history, traffic and attribution are the separate hosted product.

CLI

A zero-dependency terminal client. No install, no auth, no GitHub token.

npx warpchart find "best agentic memory system"
npx warpchart rising ai-llm
npx warpchart tinygrad/tinygrad        # rank, velocity, star chart
npx warpchart hunters tinygrad/tinygrad
npx warpchart top 20 --lang Rust
npx warpchart embed tinygrad/tinygrad
# add --json to any command for agent-friendly output

warpchart find <question>Best repos for a need, ranked by adoption and momentum.

warpchart rising [category]What is climbing fastest, by domain (no arg lists categories).

warpchart <owner/name>Worldwide rank, stars/day, a braille star chart and who is hunting it.

warpchart hunters <owner/name>Who is about to overtake it, and who it is about to pass.

warpchart top [N] --lang XThe biggest repos by stars, optionally by language.

warpchart embed <owner/name>A ready-to-paste README chart embed snippet.

MCP SERVER

A streamable-HTTP MCP server so an AI agent can query live GitHub growth telemetry, including the present-tense answer a trained model cannot give. Endpoint:

https://warpchart.dev/api/mcp

Add it to Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http warpchart https://warpchart.dev/api/mcp

Or in an MCP client config (Cursor, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "warpchart": {
      "url": "https://warpchart.dev/api/mcp",
      "transport": "http"
    }
  }
}

recommendAsk 'what is the best <X>?' Returns the matching repos ranked by adoption and momentum.

get_risingWhat is climbing fastest, by category or language (no arg lists categories).

get_repo_statsWorldwide rank, stars, velocity, neighbours and the next milestone gate.

get_velocity_rankingsThe fastest-growing repos right now, optionally by language.

get_leaderboardThe biggest repos by stars, optionally by language.

get_active_overtakesImminent rank overtakes with star gap and ETA.

compare_reposSide-by-side rank and velocity for up to 10 repos.

get_embed_snippetA README chart embed snippet for a repo.

REST API

Plain JSON over HTTPS. The base URL is self-describing. Edge-cached, CORS-open.

https://warpchart.dev/api/v1

GET /api/v1/find?q=agentic+memory+systemNatural-language repo recommendation.

GET /api/v1/rising?topic=ai-llmRising repos in a category (no topic lists all categories; ?language=Rust).

GET /api/v1/repo?repo=owner/nameRank, stars, velocity, neighbours and the next gate.

GET /api/v1/velocity?limit=20&language=RustFastest movers by stars/day. Add &format=csv.

GET /api/v1/leaderboard?limit=20Biggest repos by stars, optionally by language.

GET /api/v1/overtakes?repo=owner/nameWho is hunting a repo and who it is about to pass.

GET /api/v1/compare?repos=a/b,c/dSide-by-side stats for up to 10 repos.

GET /api/v1/embed?repo=owner/nameA README chart embed snippet (markdown + html).

README EMBED

An animated star-history chart that updates itself, linking back to the live console. Paste into any README (replace the repo):

[![star history](https://warpchart.dev/api/chart?repo=owner/name)](https://warpchart.dev/r/owner/name)

Prefer a compact badge? /api/badge?repo=owner/name. Get either snippet ready-made with warpchart embed owner/name.
