Does anyone know what was the precise date when this change was rolled out?

Turns out GitHub quietly made the endpoint that fetches stargazers return an empty response.

https://github.blog/changelog/2026-06-30-upcoming-access-restrictions-to-public-api-endpoints-and-ui-views/

No email or any other warning was shared with developers.

Because we were overriding stargazers every time we fetch them, this resulted in wiping all the data that we have collected over the years. In our case, this data was used to customize user experience when browsing MCP server catalog – GitHub served as the source of truth of their 'favorite servers' – a completely legitimate use case to building a community around GitHub's public data. Many more use cases like this exist.

In GitHub's own words, they are doing this to prevent "spam", but this is really just GitHub increasingly gatekeeping their data and community. Sadly, the platform that was built for open-source is no longer open.

I am the author of FastMCP node.js framework – which is the most popular MCP framework in JavaScript ecosystem. However, "fastmcp" name clashes with another framework in Python ecosystem. Therefore, I have been trying to rename my project to vitemcp.

I own vitemcp.com, github.com/vitemcp, x.com/vitemcp, etc. _and_ I also own npmjs.com/vite-mcp

I have been trying to rename "vite-mcp" to "vitemcp" for over a month, but hit dead ends through every channel. Support refused the request on the grounds of 'security'

I would greatly appreciate anyone who could assist with the matter.

I run an AI gateway (Glama), and we had to delist all third-party providers because some of them are obviously lying about their quantization.

Being able to vet providers would be a major improvement to our ability to offer a more diverse set of providers.

Thank you Abdullah

I couldn't get /lite/ to work. In a sample of IPs I've tried with, multiple are returning 404. Your website for the same IPs is returning information. Looks like these are just not included in the lite dataset?

Turns out there is no pay-as-you-go tier. Subscription is the only option. Not a deal breaker, but dissapointing setup.

{ "status": 404, "error": { "title": "Wrong ip", "message": "Please provide a valid IP address" } }

Good read

Do you happen to know if anyone is compiling all of this data about VPNs into one place? It would be super interesting to know which VPNs are providing genuine services vs masquerading the locations. Maybe even an SEO for you.

> I highly recommend that you work with current day's data.

Just to clarify: You are suggesting that we don't pro-actively enrich every IP address, store IPs, and only enrich them when troubleshooting something?

A follow up based on new information - if 'geofeed' identifies something with wrong geo location, and your method detects different geolocation, what do I see as the consumer consuming your API? I am assuming the inferred data, but that also feels counter-intuitive (since the data does not align with what ASN/ISP are reporting).

How often does your active measurement data disagree with geofeed data?

How do you handle mobile/cellular IPs

> Do you really need large scale IP address enrichment of all the IP addresses that visit your website? If yes, then for the first layer use our free data that provides ASN and country information.

If I am troubleshooting a support case that is days/weeks/months old, wouldn't this mean that enriching this information at a later date may give me different data than what it was associated with at the time the requests were made? My understanding was that IPs get re-assigned.

How frequently do IP-to-location mappings change in practice?

Do you offer historical IP data snapshots?

The service is mentioned in a few random Reddit threads as cost effective option, but I cannot find any discussions about accuracy of data.

How would one even go about verifying it?

For context, I am paying at the moment a few thousand/per month to another provider for IP data. I am not really using this data for anything other than have enough data to troubleshoot customer support/fraud. This service is promising unlimited IP data for USD 16/month, which sounds too good to be true, but there are many positive reviews across the Internet, so I am trying to evaluate if it is worth adopting.

Additionally, it was very important for me that the URL can capture the configuration of the MCP server. This allows me to save URLs to various MCPs that I am troubleshooting. Because the entire configuration is persisted in the URL, you can bookmark links to pre-configured MCP instances, eg

https://glama.ai/mcp/inspector?servers=%5B%7B%22id%22%3A%22t...

In order to ensure that the MCP inspector is fully spec compliant, I also shipped an MCP test server which implements every MCP feature. The latter is useful on its own in case you are building an MCP client and need something to test against https://mcp-test.glama.ai/mcp

Finally, MCP Inspector is fully integrated in our MCP server (https://glama.ai/mcp/servers) and MCP connector (https://glama.ai/mcp/connectors) directories. At a click of a button, you can test any open-source/remote MCP.

If you are building anything MCP related, would love your feedback. What's missing that would make this your go-to tool?

I found a dozen of related issues in the context of Next.js:

* https://github.com/vercel/next.js/issues/40143

* https://github.com/vercel/next.js/discussions/39377

* https://github.com/vercel/next.js/discussions/66896

* https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75672103/how-can-i-block...

Crazy that this isn't addressed as it affects every website.

However, I noticed a massive spike of 404 errors in Search Console.

I sampled a bunch and the issues and they all seem to be the same – Google indexed non-hyperlinks as if those were links.

Here is an example of reported 404:

    https://glama.ai/docs/phoenix/use-cases-evals/rag-evaluation

    https://glama.ai/mcp/servers/@Arize-ai/phoenix/blob/4f076b41f023e7e90c98ff7aece47bd1f1f5ebce/docs.json

There are now hundreds of thousands of these cases reported in GSC.

I cannot even think of where/how to start troubleshooting this.
