What it does

Give GitHub usernames or profile URLs. For each one you get a row per follower or followed account, with login, name, company, location, bio, profile URL, and user ID, and a free report row per list that states the count GitHub declares and whether the list was read to the end.

All of the work runs on Apify. This package is a thin client that starts the actor run, waits for it, and hands back the dataset rows.

Quick start

You need Node.js 18 or newer and an Apify account with an API token.

Add this to your Claude Desktop config (claude_desktop_config.json), Cursor, or any MCP client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mamba-github-followers-following-export": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@mambalabsdev/mcp-github-followers-following-export"
      ],
      "env": {
        "APIFY_TOKEN": "your-apify-token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart the client. The export_github_followers_following tool appears.

Prerequisites

Node.js 18 or newer.
An Apify API token from console.apify.com/account/integrations, set as APIFY_TOKEN. The server lists its tool without a token; a call needs one.

Example prompts

"Export who sindresorhus follows on GitHub."
"Get the first 500 followers of octocat with their locations."
"Did this export reach the end of the followers list?"

Tool

export_github_followers_following. One tool. Example arguments:

{
  "users": [
    "sindresorhus"
  ],
  "list": "following",
  "max_results_per_list": 20
}

Inputs

Every buyer facing input of the actor. Omitted inputs take the actor's own defaults.

Input	Type	Required	Description
`users`	array	no	Usernames or profile URLs of public GitHub accounts, up to 100 a run. Clay users: wrap a column in a one item list.
`list`	string	no	followers, following, or both (default).
`max_results_per_list`	number	no	Rows to return per list, from 1 to 100000. Default 1000. Each row is charged. Large lists also need a longer run timeout: about 400 rows a minute.
`github_token`	string	no	Optional. Your own GitHub token reads through the REST API at up to 5,000 requests an hour, with login, user ID, and avatar only: no name, company, location, or bio. Never stored or logged.
`max_charge_usd`	string	no	Optional. The run stops before a charge that would pass this amount. Summary rows are always returned.

Pricing

Pay per event on Apify, billed to your Apify account. Prices in USD.

Event	Free plan	Bronze	Silver	Gold
