search_repos — Find real, actively growing open-source GitHub repositories for a need described in plain words ("a calendar MCP server", "free Photoshop alternative for Mac", "self-hosted analytics").
get_repo — Everything RepoAlerts knows about one GitHub repository (owner/name or URL): what it is and who it's for, stars and recent growth, a summary of its star curve, licence, last push, the apps it can replace, Hacker News stories and similar repos.
find_alternatives — Open-source alternatives to an app, product or service ("Photoshop", "Notion", "Heroku", "Postman"), from the GitHub repos RepoAlerts tracks, with real star counts and growth.
