Reported issues for DevGlobe

Pod holds 16 of 20 problems reported by people outside the maintainer team. Issues filed by the project's own owners, members and collaborators are excluded entirely — a maintainer's release checklist is not a warning to a prospective user.

Agent analytics: measure privacy-safe MCP adoption and outcomes

Problem

We lack telemetry on how agents interact with the DevGlobe MCP server, preventing us from optimization and tracking growth safely.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Track aggregate metrics: initialize, ools-list, ool-call, errors, latency, and returned result counts.
  • Track introduction conversion outcomes.
  • Ensure no raw private content is captured (privacy-safe).
  • Document data retention policy.
  • Provide dashboard queries and documentation.

Dependencies

  • None.

Epic: Make DevGlobe discoverable and reusable by AI agents

Problem

DevGlobe needs to become the premier discoverable and reusable platform for AI agents. We must implement standardized MCP capabilities, authentication, onboarding portals, analytics, and workflow recipes, then publish them to registries.

Implementation Status

MCP contract: add tool annotations and standardized errors

Problem

The MCP server doesn't provide stable, annotated hints for tool discovery or standardized error guidelines, making automated retries and agent-side error handling difficult.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Provide read-only annotations for discovery tools.
  • Provide state-changing annotations for introduction tools.
  • Implement stable error codes and structured categories.
  • Document and implement retry/rate-limit guidance for client agents.
  • Tests and developer documentation.

MCP contract: add structured outputs and explainable discovery results

Problem

AI agents require clear, structured outputs and explainable matches when performing developer discovery searches on DevGlobe to build trust in recommendations.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Add outputSchema and structuredContent to all public discovery tools.
  • Search result items must include: profileUrl, whyMatched, public evidence, freshness, agent availability, and methodology disclaimer.
  • Maintain backward-compatible text content outputs.
  • Comprehensive test coverage.

Agent onboarding: build an Add to Agent setup hub

Problem

Developers and agents have no dedicated, user-friendly portal to learn how to integrate and connect DevGlobe's MCP tools to their environments.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Build a dedicated, accessible, and responsive /agents page.
  • Visual configurations and setup copy controls for VS Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, and generic Streamable HTTP.
  • Include clear links to the endpoint, server card, Agent Skill, and auth docs.

Dependencies

  • None.

Agent discovery: publish DevGlobe to MCP registries and client directories

Problem

DevGlobe's hosted MCP service needs to be discoverable by AI agents and developers. We lack official presence in major MCP registries and client directories, which limits our adoption and reach.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Official MCP Registry submission metadata is documented and ready.
  • Relevant client directories (e.g., Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code) are evaluated and submitted to.
  • Use canonical endpoint and server card.
  • Submission status is recorded and tracked.

feat: expose DevGlobe as a hosted MCP service for AI agents

Problem

DevGlobe already supports consent-aware developer discovery and introductions through a local stdio MCP server, but agent owners must clone the repository and run Node locally. This prevents agents from using DevGlobe as an internet-native service.

Proposal

Expose a hosted, stateless MCP Streamable HTTP endpoint at /mcp so MCP-compatible agents can discover developers and request consent-gated introductions directly through https://www.devglobe.dev.

Public MCP service status and capability page

Problem

There is no public, simple way to understand the status, version, and capabilities of the public MCP service, which makes adoption and troubleshooting harder for clients.

Proposed solution

Publish a public MCP service status and capability page that includes uptime, version, tools, prompts, resources, client setup guidance, and aggregate reliability information without exposing identity or user-specific data.

Acceptance criteria

  • Public status and capability page.
  • Uptime, v

Saved-search MCP tools

Problem

MCP clients need a safe way to save and run searches, but anonymous persistence and unbounded schema can create privacy and complexity problems.

Proposed solution

Add authenticated saved-search MCP tools that support list, create, delete, and run actions using the #166 model, with no anonymous persistence and bounded schema validation in the tool contract.

Acceptance criteria

  • Authenticated list/create/delete/run behavior.
  • No anonymous persistence.
  • Bounded schema and vali

Stable cursor pagination for developer search

Problem

Developer search lacks a stable and deterministic pagination mechanism. Clients need a predictable cursor-based API and MCP contract that can survive reordering and invalid or expired continuations without exposing unstable internal indexes.

Proposed solution

Implement stable cursor pagination for developer search which uses an opaque continuation token, deterministic ordering, and bounded page sizes. The contract should define max 20 results, invalid cursor handling, and expirati

Project-first developer discovery

Problem

Users begin from a repository, not a person. The product currently has no first-class path to understand whether a public codebase matches a developer profile or to explain why a person is likely relevant to a repository. The system must accept a public GitHub owner/repo, resolve repository language, topics, and description, and then compare it against indexed public developers with transparent evidence instead of opaque ranking.

Proposed solution

Add a repository-first developer

Feature: Live Agent Scout discovery workspace

Problem

search is a one-shot result list and the MCP agent experience is detached from the web experience.

Proposed Solution

a visible, user-controlled scout workspace where a natural-language mission is converted into search criteria and progressively builds a shortlist with evidence-backed inclusion/exclusion explanations.

MVP Scope

mission composer with structured interpretation preview; user must confirm criteria before execution; progress states; candidate stream; inspect evidenc

Agent authentication: design OAuth 2.1 onboarding for introduction tools

Problem

To allow agents to request/perform state-changing introduction tools securely on behalf of users, we need a robust OAuth 2.1 protocol design instead of static pre-issued keys. Public searches must remain anonymous.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Complete threat model and security design document.
  • Detail protected resource metadata and authorization server decision.
  • Define delegated scopes for introduction actions.
  • Implement token rotation and revocation.
  • Define transition/migrati

Build comprehensive feature documentation and deploy it to GitHub Pages

Summary

Create a dedicated, public documentation site for DevGlobe that explains the product's human-facing features and its agent-ready surfaces. Deploy the static documentation to GitHub Pages while keeping the dynamic Next.js application on Vercel.

Goals

  • Give developers, users, and AI-agent builders one navigable source of truth.
  • Document current behavior from the implementation, not aspirational features.
  • Make MCP, Agent Skills, OpenAPI, WebMCP, machine-readable discovery, authe

Visualize the consent-based Agent Network and connection lifecycle

Problem

DevGlobe now supports consent-gated MCP introductions, but the interaction is mostly invisible outside the private request inbox. This makes an important differentiator difficult for developers and visitors to understand, trust, and share.

Goal

Visualize the developer-agent connection lifecycle in a privacy-safe way that helps developers understand the value, opt in, and share their agent-ready profile.

Add consent-based AI tools and agent collaboration profiles

Problem

DevGlobe describes an agent-ready developer discovery layer, but developer profiles cannot currently declare which AI coding agents they use or whether they accept agent-initiated collaboration requests. GitHub data cannot reliably establish private tool usage, so this must be consent-based and self-declared.

Proposed MVP

  • Allow a signed-in developer with a claimed profile to manage an AI collaboration profile.
  • Capture selected AI tools, usage level, collaboration availability,
