GitHub is a great treasure trove with a plethora of useful tools
But the search function on the official website, which requires very precise keywords, is no longer sufficient.
So I researched how to find the desired function in plain language (natural language), and after multiple practical tests, I obtained the following results.
To illustrate the situation, the function of the case I used is:
Can you help me find a project on GitHub that can assist me with AI writing, create popular products, and take me flying
1 github copilot
Recommended rating: 2 stars
GitHub Copilot is the official AI chat tool. Next to the official search, click on a small icon with glasses on top of your head to enter.
Originally, I had the highest expectation because this official should be very familiar with my own family. But the actual results were very poor.
And the free version can only use the GPT 5 mini model. I specially created a Pro account that can use Sonnet 4.6
The first recommendation it made was the Novel project, which is an open-source text editor with a Notion style that can be written using AI.
2 github mcp
Recommendation index: 3-star
I consulted AI (Gemini, Cladue, GPT) about this question, and their most recommended one is GitHub MCP, which is an official MCP developed by GitHub and has a wide range of functions. The search project is also one of them. The result returned by MCP is quite good.
For example, the tool that took me flying recommended AiToEarn to me
But my recommendation index is only 3 stars because its effectiveness is similar to the latter two, but it is very cumbersome. Because it requires
1) Configure the MCP for certain functions, as GitHub MCP has a wide range of features. If installed directly, there are more than 20 tools, and the injected prompt contains approximately 59k, which is very uneconomical. So only the search function of MCP needs to be installed.
2) Need to configure authorization token for GitHub
Overall, the effect is decent, but it's quite troublesome
3 claude code
Recommended rating: 5 stars
Directly using Claude code is a pleasant surprise. I originally thought that specialized tools or skills would be more useful. But in the process of trying, the claude code always asks thoughtfully, do you want me to help you with it? So I just let it do it.
The results were found to be very good and should be the best among several options.
4 Gemini webpages
Recommendation index: 4 stars
Since the claim code can be searched directly, I wonder if the Gemini web version can also be searched directly. The result feels pretty good, but overall it's slightly worse than the Claude code.
For example, the project results of writing,
The first person also recommended AiToEarn, but the overall quality of the following recommended projects was not as good as the claim code
5 perplexity
Recommended rating: 2 stars
Perlexity is also a tool recommended by AI, with a high recommendation index. But in actual use, the results are not good. The project you found for me can be said to be the worst among several methods.
6 Other websites
In my research, I also tested some AI recommended websites specifically designed for searching for features on GitHub. But the effect is relatively poor, so I won't list them one by one.
