Package Intel MCP — Claude Code MCP server: package checks
Search npm, PyPI, and crates.io packages, then inspect versions, dependencies, and health signals before adding a dependency.
claude mcp add --transport http npm-pypi-crates-packages https://package.datakoot.com/mcpWhat Package Intel MCP does
Package Intel MCP gives an agent tools to search packages and inspect metadata, release history, and download counts. It can show direct dependencies for a selected version, or return health signals such as OpenSSF Scorecard, stars, and dependent projects.
Package details come from public npm, PyPI, and crates.io APIs; deps.dev supplies dependency graphs and health signals. Select npm, pypi, or crates for a query. No API key is required. Treat the results as informational: they give you evidence to review, not a decision about whether a dependency belongs in your project.
What it helps with
- search for a package by keyword
- check a package's license and current version
- review release dates across its version history
- inspect popularity and package health signals
- see the direct dependencies of a particular version
Example prompts for the agent
- Check the health signals for the npm package
expressbefore I add it to the project. - Find a date-handling package on PyPI and show its current version and license.
- Show the direct dependencies for this package version in
crates.
