List a repository's contributors

Everyone whose commits are on a repository's default branch, most commits first: each with kind (user, matched to an account by an address they confirmed or their noreply address; g1t, g1t itself; author, anyone else, by the name on their commits), name, username and avatar for a user, commits, first_at, last_at, and weeks (commits per week, for the 100 most active). total is how many there are (at most 500 are listed), commits how many were read (the newest 3,000), and weeks the repository's commits by week, oldest first.

GET/repos/{owner}/{name}/contributors

Worked out in the background and kept by commit, as for get_languages.

Read from the newest 3,000 commits of the default branch. A person’s addresses count as one when they confirmed them on their account; their noreply address counts too.

Authentication: Optional. Public data can be read without a token; send one to see what is private.
MCP tool: repository with action contributors, and the same inputs
Scope: An access token needs repo:read.

Errors

A failed request answers with one of these statuses and a body like {"error": {"code": "not_found", "message": "Repository not found."}}. See errors.

Status	Code	When
401	`unauthenticated`	A token is required, or the one sent is not valid.
403	`forbidden`	The token is valid but not allowed to do this, such as a member-only change or an agent token outside its repository.
404	`not_found`	It does not exist, or you cannot see it.
422	`invalid`	The input is not valid. `message` says which field and why.
