Catalog: 303 → 333 agents. Window: 2026-07-17 → 2026-07-31, plus the mandatory 7-day gap sweep back to 2026-07-10.

⚠️ Merge-order note: PR #6 (weekly drop 2026-07-25, 30 agents) is still open. This branch is cut from main, so the two are independent, but whichever merges second will need a trivial content/changelog.json rebase. No agent slugs overlap — #6's slugs were added to the exclusion list for this run.

Every star count below was pulled from the GitHub API during this run. Every agentUrl returns HTTP 200 (checked with a browser UA, serially, after discarding parallel-load false negatives).

✅ TO ADD (30)

The headline gaps

# Agent Signal
1 Codex CLI (OpenAI) 102,963★, pushed 2026-08-01. The catalog had gemini-cli, aider, cline, goose, opencode, openclaw — and not the highest-starred coding agent on GitHub. Flagged featured.
2 MarkItDown (Microsoft) 170,556★. Highest-starred repo in the entire sweep. Name-collision check: distinct from the existing markdownify-mcp (zcaceres), a far smaller project.
3 Crawl4AI (UncleCode) 75,720★. Out-stars every crawler already listed (firecrawl, apify-mcp, bright-data-mcp, scrapling).
4 Docling (IBM Research / LF AI & Data) 64,083★. Linux Foundation AI hosted; the enterprise counterpart to the listed unstructured.

Launches and high-growth (Mode A)

# Agent Signal
5 Hermes Agent (Nous Research) 223,483★. Self-improving personal agent; named lab. Flagged featured.
6 Graphify (Graphify Labs) 99,790★, created 2026-04-03 — ~100k stars in four months.
7 claude-mem (thedotmack) 89,190★, pushed 2026-07-31. Leads the emerging agent-memory category.
8 nanobot (HKUDS) 46,484★ since 2026-02-01. HK University Data Intelligence Lab.
9 Sim (Sim Studio, YC) 29,252★. Visual agent workflows deployable as versioned REST endpoints or MCP tools.
10 Crush (Charm) 26,993★. Known OSS shop; leading Go/TUI coding agent.
11 Kilo Code (Kilo Org) 26,654★. VS Code + JetBrains agent; the live successor in the Roo/Cline lineage (see UPDATE below).
12 Archon (Cole Medin) 23,042★. Correction applied: v1 was an MCP/RAG task server and is now archived on archive/v1-task-management-rag. Current Archon is a YAML workflow engine running coding agents in isolated git worktrees — the entry describes what actually ships today.
13 Opik (Comet ML) 21,013★. The conspicuous hole next to langfuse, arize-phoenix, helicone, deepeval, promptfoo.
14 Braintrust (Braintrust Data) Commercial-signal track, not stars: $80M Series B led by ICONIQ (Feb 2026) at $800M valuation; a16z/Greylock/Elad Gil participating. Customers include Notion, Replit, Cloudflare, Ramp, Stripe, Vercel.
15 Browser Harness (Browser Use) 16,401★. Writes its own helper code and site skills mid-task.
16 OpenSandbox (OpenSandbox Group) 12,270★. Docker/K8s sandboxes for agent workloads.
17 Codebase Memory MCP (DeusData) 36,872★. 158 languages; indexes the 28M-LOC Linux kernel in 3 minutes.
18 CowAgent (zhayujie) 46,251★. Self-hosted personal agent across 8 IM channels.
19 Cherry Studio (CherryHQ) 49,221★. Largest MCP-native desktop client still missing.

Established and missing (Mode B)

# Agent Signal
20 Qwen Code (Alibaba Qwen) 26,480★. Rejected by the Mode A pass as out-of-window (created 2025-06-26), correctly re-qualified under Mode B.
21 Page Agent (Alibaba) 28,323★. In-page DOM agent — no screenshots, no headless browser.
22 WeKnora (Tencent) 19,217★. RAG + ReAct agent + auto-generated wiki.
23 Spring AI Alibaba (Alibaba) 10,486★. The Java/Spring Boot agent story; catalog was Python/TS-only here.
24 FastGPT (labring) 29,215★. Bidirectional MCP — both client and server.
25 IDA Pro MCP (mrexodia) 10,960★. Listed in the official Hex-Rays plugin registry. Catalog had ghidra-mcp but no IDA bridge.
26 Strands Agents (AWS) 6,756★. Repo-rename check: strands-agents/sdk-python now redirects to strands-agents/harness-sdk; both report identical stars. Catalog had bedrock-agentcore but not the SDK.
27 XcodeBuildMCP (Sentry) 6,176★. Only iOS/macOS build-and-simulator MCP at this scale.
28 Bifrost (Maxim AI) 6,948★. LLM gateway across 23+ providers.
29 Klavis AI (Klavis AI) 5,781★. Strata progressive tool discovery for very large tool sets.
30 AG2 (AG2 AI) 4,822★. The AutoGen fork; catalog had autogen, not AG2.

🔄 UPDATED (1)

roo-code — caught by live verification, not by a report.

  • providerUrl, agentUrl: https://www.roocode.com/https://roomote.dev/ — the old domain now 301s to roomote.dev.
  • description: notes the rebrand to Roomote and that the OSS repo is archived.

Evidence: RooCodeInc/Roo-Code is archived: true, last push 2026-05-15 (24,364★ frozen). Roomote is now "your own cloud coding agent." The product did not die, it rebranded — so this is a field correction, not an unpublish. Kilo Code (#11) is the live open-source successor in that lineage.

⏭ REJECTED

Duplicates / name collisions caught:

  • ruflo (ruvnet/ruflo, 66,704★) — this is claude-flow renamed. The catalog entry already points at the new URL. No action.
  • UI-TARS-desktop (38,378★) — already listed as agent-tars. Same product, different name.
  • LM Studio Bionic — maps to existing lm-studio; the source had mis-attributed it to mudler/LocalAI (also already listed).

Stale / archived:

  • lharries/whatsapp-mcp — 5,969★ but last push 2025-07-13, past the 12-month cutoff.
  • bytebot-ai/bytebot — 11,069★ but archived since 2025-09-12.
  • browserbase/mcp-server-browserbase — archived; parent already listed.

Considered and cut for quality, not disqualified (kept the drop at 30):

  • ZeroClaw (32.5k), QwenPaw (AgentScope), DeepSeek-Reasonix (28.3k), OpenCLI (27.5k), oh-my-pi (20k), Context Mode (19.5k) — all verified clean, but they cluster in terminal-coding-agent territory the catalog already covers well, and all are solo-maintainer 2026 star rockets. Worth a look next run.
  • Omnigent (7,990★), World Monitor, Agent Reach — drafted, then cut: smallest of the meta-harness cluster, weakest scope fit, and no independent homepage respectively.
  • cc-switch (122,957★) and omlx (18,353★) — highest raw stars in the sweep, both rejected on qualification: cc-switch is a GUI config switcher and omlx is inference infra, neither is an agent with programmatic access.
  • Unity MCP (13,031★, Coplay) — real gap (catalog has blender-mcp, no game engine), cut only for the 30 cap. Strong candidate next run.

Below bar: hyperbrowserai/mcp (775★), neo4j-contrib/mcp-neo4j (982★), elastic/mcp-server-elasticsearch (700★), inngest/agent-kit (917★), wandb/weave (1,109★), docker/mcp-gateway (1,514★), Flux159/mcp-server-kubernetes (1,516★), smithery-ai/cli (812★). Glama "newest"/"trending" feeds were anonymous single-author servers with no traction.

💡 CATEGORY PROPOSALS

None. No category reached the 3+ candidate threshold. Closest was document-parsing (MarkItDown, Docling, and next-tier MinerU/Marker) — filed under content-media + data-analytics for now. If MinerU and Marker land next run, a document-processing category becomes worth proposing.

🐦 X POST DRAFTS — do not publish before merge

Post after this PR merges, not before. The 303 → 333 count is only true once it lands. If PR #6 merges too, the number becomes 363 and every draft below needs updating.

Option A — single post (277 chars)

Shipped 300+ AI agents on agentswitchboard.dev and never listed OpenAI's Codex CLI. 103k stars. Fixed.

Also added this week: Microsoft MarkItDown (170k), IBM Docling (64k), Crawl4AI (75k).

30 new, 303 -> 333. Star counts pulled live from the GitHub API.

agentswitchboard.dev

Option B — honest-gap framing (262 chars)

A catalog of 300+ AI agents that somehow did not include OpenAI's Codex CLI. Or Microsoft MarkItDown. Or IBM Docling.

All three are in now, plus 27 more. 303 -> 333.

Every star count pulled live from the GitHub API this week, not scraped.

agentswitchboard.dev

Option C — thread (5 posts, all ≤280)

1/5 (243)

This week on agentswitchboard.dev: 30 agents added, 303 -> 333.

The embarrassing one first. We had gemini-cli, aider, cline, goose, opencode. We did not have OpenAI's Codex CLI, at 103k stars the biggest coding agent on GitHub.

It is in now.

2/5 (259)

New launches worth your time:

Crush (Charm) 27k, terminal coding agent in Go
Sim (YC) 29k, visual agent workflows deployable as MCP tools
Kilo Code 27k, VS Code + JetBrains agent
Archon 23k, runs coding agents through YAML workflows in isolated git worktrees

3/5 (258)

Commercial moves: Braintrust raised an $80M Series B led by ICONIQ in Feb 2026. Eval-first LLM observability, used by Notion, Stripe and Vercel.

Added alongside Opik (Comet ML, 21k), filling out the agent-evaluation shelf next to Langfuse and Arize Phoenix.

4/5 (260)

The gaps nobody noticed: Microsoft MarkItDown (170k stars) converts PDFs and Office docs to LLM-ready Markdown. IBM Docling (64k) does the same for gen-AI pipelines. Crawl4AI (75k) is the default open-source crawler for RAG.

All three missing until this week.

5/5 (262)

Method note: every star count above came from the GitHub API during this run, not from memory or a scraped list.

It caught a live one. Roo Code's repo is archived and roocode.com now redirects to roomote.dev, so that entry got corrected rather than left to rot.

Selected: Option C (the thread)

Assaf picked C. Post the five parts in order, after merge.

(For the record, my recommendation had been B — the single-post gap framing. C carries strictly more of the run: the Codex gap, the Braintrust funding, the document-parsing hole, and the verification method each get their own post instead of being compressed into one line.)

Beat notes for next run

  • punkpeye/awesome-mcp-servers has degraded into SEO-spam self-listings with fake "official" badges. Dropped as a signal source.
  • there.so is not a registry — it serves a captcha game. Worth removing from the Tier 1 beat list.
  • smithery.ai 403s and futurepedia's recently-added page 404s; glama.ai's featured carousel surfaces sub-500-star noise rather than a ranking. Star-sorted GitHub verification plus live ranking articles worked far better.
  • Next-run shortlist already verified clean: Unity MCP, MinerU (76k), Marker (38k), Motia (18.5k), Midscene (14.5k, ByteDance), Qodo PR-Agent (12.3k), LanceDB (11k), MCP Inspector (10.5k), mcp-use (10.4k), mcp-go (9k), Guardrails AI (7.2k).
