# DevMatch

> DevMatch — zachary-royals-devmatch. Use this tool when you need to find and hire top engineering talent based on their actual open-source contributions and projects. DevMatch solves the problem of filtering through unverified candidate skills by providing a ranked shortlist of developers with verified contribution evidence and contact information. It takes job descriptions, GitHub handles, or seed repositories as input and outputs candidate profiles, project landscapes, and outreach channels, making it ideal for mission-driven teams seeking skilled and passionate engineers.

## Description

DevMatch is an MCP server for hiring engineers based on what they've actually built. Connect from Cursor, Claude Desktop, or any MCP-compatible AI assistant and search 35M+ developers ranked by verified open-source contributions — not LinkedIn keywords or self-reported skills.

 **Three tools:**

**`find_candidates`** — paste a job description, get a ranked shortlist with bio, top repos, contribution evidence, and contact info. Pro tier adds verified email enrichment on the top 5 results.
**`get_profile`** — deep-dive any GitHub handle. Bio, recent activity, top projects, and outreach channels in one call.
**`find_similar_projects`** — landscape mapping from a seed repo with top contributors surfaced, so you can pivot from a project to its maintainers in one step.

Built for mission-driven teams that want engineers who care about the work, not just check the keyword box. OAuth sign-in (no API keys to juggle). Free tier with 50 monthly credits, $129/mo Pro for higher quotas plus verified email enrichment.
