Continue.dev Hub Catalog Scraper

Scrapes the complete Continue.dev hub catalog — the canonical marketplace for AI coding assistant configurations. Extracts rules, prompts, models, documentation packages, and MCP server blocks with full config YAML, star counts, and author details.

What it scrapes

The Continue.dev hub (https://continue.dev/hub) is an open marketplace where teams publish their AI coding assistant configurations. This actor collects all public packages across these categories:

Type Examples
rules Coding standards, project conventions (e.g. Angular Rules, Next.js Rules)
prompts Reusable prompts for common workflows
models Model configuration blocks (OpenAI GPT-4o, Claude, Gemini, Llama, etc.)
docs Framework documentation packages
blocks Composite configuration blocks
mcp-servers MCP server integration configs

Use cases

  • Enterprise config auditing — inventory all publicly-shared Continue.dev configs to benchmark your team's setup against community standards
  • AI dev-tool intelligence — track adoption of models, coding standards, and MCP integrations across the developer community
  • Config discovery — find the most-starred rules/prompts for a specific framework before building your own
  • Research — analyze trends in AI coding assistant configuration patterns
