notavibe checks five maintenance signals — release cadence, response time, contributor breadth, security posture, and adoption — so your AI assistant recommends packages that are actually alive.
8,400+ npm packages · Free, no auth · Works with Claude, Cursor & VS Code
How it works
Every project shows five maintenance signals derived from public data — each with its source, fetch date, and a clear rating. No hidden formula.
Substantive releases and merged external PRs over the trailing 90 days. Active, steady, quiet, or dormant.
Median time to first substantive maintainer response on issues and PRs. Days, weeks, or insufficient data.
How many distinct authors are merging code. Broad, narrowing, single-author, or insufficient data.
OpenSSF Scorecard-style checks: security policy, CI in place, code review practice. Strong, partial, or none visible.
Get started
Give your AI coding assistant grounded, sourced knowledge about open-source project health. Works with Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, and any MCP-compatible client.
This downloads and runs the notavibe MCP server. Your AI assistant will automatically detect it. No configuration file needed — just run and go.
Why notavibe
Each signal shows its source, fetch date, and a clear rating like "steady" or "days." You see exactly what we see — no hidden formula.
Stars and downloads are farmable. Release cadence, response times, and dependent-project counts are not. We measure what matters.
Built as an MCP server so your coding assistant grounds dependency recommendations in sourced data — not training-set popularity bias.
