  • Quick Start Generator — Ready-to-use code examples for any package
  • Package Comparison — Compare alternatives side-by-side (features, size, popularity)
  • Bundle Size Analysis — Minified/gzipped sizes, tree-shaking, impact on your bundle
  • Similar Packages — Find alternatives and similar packages
  • Search — Find packages with ranking and scores
  • Details — Versions, dependencies, download stats, deprecation status
  • Security — Vulnerability check and safe version tips
  • Compatibility — Peer dependency and version conflicts
  • Quality — Maintenance and community metrics
  • Version compare — Breaking changes and semver
  • NPX check — Validate npx commands before running

Install & use

With npx (recommended)

No global install. Add to Cursor or Claude config:

Cursor — ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "npm-registry-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@alisaitteke/npm-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop — ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "npm-registry-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@alisaitteke/npm-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Global install (optional)

npm install -g @alisaitteke/npm-mcp

Then use "command": "npm-mcp" (no args) in the config above.

What you can ask

Once the server is connected, you can ask things like:

  • “Search for React state management libraries”
  • “Security audit for express@4.18”
  • “Is lodash@4.17 compatible with my current deps?”
  • “Compare React 17 and 18”
  • “Quality check for date-fns”
  • “Is it safe to run npx create-next-app?”
