# npm-search-mcp
MCP server that searches npm packages and returns live registry data. No API key needed.
## Tools
- **search_packages** — Search npm for packages by keyword. Returns names, descriptions, download counts, and links.
- **get_package** — Get detailed info about a specific package: version, dependencies, size, weekly downloads.
- **compare_packages** — Compare 2-10 packages side by side with download stats, size, and quality scores.
## Why?
AI coding assistants have stale knowledge about npm packages. This MCP server gives them live access to the npm registry — current versions, download trends, and package details updated in real-time.
