How this service works
Pay-per-call access to engineers ranked by verified open-source contributions and other public work. Unpaid calls to the paid resource return an x402 HTTP 402 challenge (USDC on Base). Authenticate with OAuth or an X-API-Key for monthly-credit billing instead.
Output
Returns a list of ranked engineering candidates, each with their GitHub login, full name, bio, profile URL, and location, plus a total count of matched candidates.
Example use cases
Sourcing backend engineers for a startup
“I'm hiring a backend engineer who knows Rust and async systems. Can you use DevMatch to find me the top 15 candidates based on their open-source work? Exclude anyone from the 'actix-web' org.”
Finding contributors matching a repo's stack
“Pull up to 20 engineer candidates on DevMatch who'd be a good fit for the tech stack in https://github.com/my-org/my-repo — I want people with real open-source history.”
Recruiting for a specific ML engineering role
“Search DevMatch for up to 25 machine learning engineers with verified public contributions — use this job description: 'Looking for an ML infra engineer with experience in Python, PyTorch, and distributed training pipelines.'”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://mcp.dev-match.xyz/mcp/x402/find_candidatesWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need to source engineering candidates based on real, verifiable open-source contributions rather than self-reported resumes or LinkedIn profiles. It is especially useful when you have a specific GitHub repo, tech stack, or job brief to match against, and want ranked results quickly without managing a full ATS or recruiter workflow.
Side effects
- HTTP 402 returned if call is unpaid and no valid API key or OAuth token is provided — requires USDC payment on Base or authenticated session
- Empty candidate list if the job description is too vague or no matching contributors are found
- Invalid or inaccessible GitHub repo URL causes lookup failure
- Excluded logins/orgs list reduces result set to fewer than requested candidates
- Rate limiting or credit exhaustion for monthly-credit billing users
