Ghost Beacon
https://github.com/moecanales/agent-oracle-beacon
Zero-dependency Node.js MCP server (npx -y github:moecanales/agent-oracle-beacon) exposing nine tools: GitHub-Issue context rollover and comment-mutex extraction (GBR-2500), board-game rules lookup over bundled CC0 datasets, an agent transcript scanner, and A2A discovery with DNS/TLS checks. Submitted by its author (issue #194); GBR-2500 (issue #299) is one of its tools in the same repository, not a separate system.

Pros & cons
Pros
One-line install with no dependencies; MIT licence; source fully in the open.
Cons
Nine days old with no independent adoption signal (no GitHub stars, one fork); the repository description and the README disagree about what the project does; adoption figures are self-reported.
Claims & capabilities
README claims 1,509 clones from 430 unique cloners and a 44-node A2A "beacon ring". These are self-reported and not verifiable from the repository, which has no GitHub stars and one fork as of 2026-10-31. The repository description advertises a CAPTCHA-capture service and a fiat proxy that the README says the project does not provide.
