Emerging AI agents & MCP servers
Data as of 2026-06-10 · first weekly scoring run pending · updated weekly
A project is emerging when it is young (first tracked within ~6 months), still small (under 5,000 stars), and already gaining 30+ stars a week. These are the projects building real momentum before most people have heard of them. Projects that merely continue a deprecated predecessor are excluded — that's continuation, not emergence.
Daily tracking just started — movement rankings appear here within the first days, as soon as star deltas accumulate.
Methodology
- Age window
- First release or tracking start within roughly the last 6 months.
- Size ceiling
- Under 5,000 stars — past that, a project is established, not emerging.
- Momentum floor
- At least 30 stars gained in the last 7 days, so dormant new repos don't qualify.
- Succession filter
- A project that officially succeeds a deprecated predecessor is excluded — its growth is migration, not discovery.
All signals are computed from daily snapshots of stars, forks, releases, and npm/PyPI downloads, aggregated weekly. Every number above is traceable to a snapshot date — nothing is editorial, and rankings cannot be bought. Full details on the methodology page.
