What is the explainx.ai GitHub stars leaderboard?

It is a curated, side-by-side ranking of the most-starred agent skills and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers in the explainx.ai index. Lists are capped at 50 entries each and sorted by repository GitHub stars in descending order, so you can quickly see which projects attract the most developer attention.

How is this different from the main skills registry?

The skills registry at /skills ranks 11,869+ approved skills primarily by installs and discovery filters. This leaderboard only surfaces skills that have GitHub star counts (11082 in the index) and sorts strictly by stars—useful for popularity benchmarking, not install volume.

Which MCP servers appear on this page?

Only MCP server listings with recorded GitHub stars (1491 in the directory) are eligible. The table shows the top 50 by stars; servers without star metadata are omitted here but remain searchable in the full MCP directory at /mcp-servers.

This page answers: which agent skills and MCP servers in our index have the strongest GitHub signal? We list up to 50 of each, sorted by stars (highest first). Install-focused rankings and search live on /skills and /mcp-servers.
