| description | Discover trustworthy GitHub, Gitee, and GitCode repositories, Releases, installable assets, Codex skills, and MCP servers for AI-agent tasks. Use when an agent needs to find upstream software, compare release assets, inspect license/safety signals, locate skills/MCP integrations, or choose what to install or cite. |
GitMarket Agent Search
Overview
Use GitMarket as an upstream-first search market for agents. Prefer official repository and Release data over mirrors, and return compact evidence that helps the caller decide whether a project, asset, skill, or MCP server is safe and useful.
Search Workflow
- Clarify the target: release asset, source repository, local skill, MCP server, mobile app, desktop app, library, or comparison set.
- Search GitHub first, then add Gitee or GitCode when the user asks for Chinese ecosystem coverage or multiple sources.
- Inspect the upstream repository before recommending an installable asset.
- Prefer the latest stable Release unless the user asks for prerelease, nightly, or source builds.
- Report enough evidence for an agent to act without reading the whole repository.
Evidence Checklist
For each recommended result, include:
- Repository URL and source platform.
- Latest Release tag and release URL when available.
- Relevant assets, platform labels, sizes, and download URLs.
- License, source code URL, and whether the asset is official upstream.
- SHA256 or upstream checksum availability when known.
- Safety notes: prerelease, archived repository, unknown license, missing source, suspicious asset naming, or missing checksum.
- Agent fit: why this result helps the requested task.
Skill And MCP Discovery
Treat skills and MCP servers as optional capability plugins, separate from normal Release results.
- Skill results should identify the skill name, repository, install path or setup command, trigger scope, and trust signals.
- MCP results should identify server name, transport/setup command, tools exposed, permissions needed, and whether credentials are required.
- Do not mix Skill/MCP results into normal software downloads unless the user asks for all capability types.
Output Shape
Use a compact ranked list. For complex searches, use the schema in references/result-schema.md.
Avoid claiming that GitMarket hosts, mirrors, verifies, or endorses third-party binaries. It discovers upstream Releases and helps agents inspect them.
