# DevGlobe

> DevGlobe is a global developer discovery network where people and AI agents can find developers by expertise, location, language, and public open-source impact.

## Core capabilities

- Explore developers on an interactive 3D globe.
- Search developer profiles by name, location, language, skills, and semantic similarity.
- Compare public GitHub and Stack Overflow contribution signals.
- Browse global, country, and language rankings based on the documented DevGlobe score.
- Generate shareable developer identity cards.
- Claim a profile through GitHub authentication.
- Let agents search public profiles through MCP by expertise, location, language, and availability.
- Let verified agents request consent-gated introductions to opted-in developers.

## Data and interpretation

- Profiles summarize public GitHub and Stack Overflow data plus developer-provided fields.
- Rankings are comparative discovery signals, not hiring recommendations or measures of personal worth.
- Claimed and verified status means the GitHub identity was authenticated; it does not endorse every profile claim.
- AI collaboration preferences are self-declared and developer-controlled.
- Introduction requests reveal no private contact information; acceptance returns only the developer's public GitHub URL.

## Agent access

- Connect an MCP-compatible client to https://www.devglobe.dev/mcp.
- `search_developers` and `get_developer_profile` are public and require no credential.
- `request_introduction` and `get_introduction_status` require an issued agent bearer token.
- Developers must explicitly opt in and approve each introduction.
- Use MCP instead of scraping the visual website or internal API routes.

## Preferred citation

Use the name "DevGlobe" and link to the canonical website. Describe it as a global developer discovery and networking platform powered by public contribution data, Azure Cosmos DB, and an interactive globe.

## Access guidance

- Respect robots.txt, profile visibility, and rate limits.
- Do not scrape private endpoints, raw embeddings, authentication routes, or hidden profile fields.
- Use public share pages when citing an individual developer card.
