Documentation Overview

freshdeps-mcp

MCP server exposing live npm / PyPI dependency-health verdicts so AI coding agents can check a package before recommending it — closing the 6–18 month staleness gap in model training data.

Tool

`check_dependency_freshness`

Input	Type
`ecosystem`	`"npm"` \| `"pypi"`
`package`	string

Returns a concise human-readable summary and structured content: maintenance signal (active/slowing/stale/abandoned/unknown), latest version, last release/commit age, deprecation/yank/archived flags, known CVE count (OSV), and a hand-verified alternative if the package is dead.

It calls ${FRESHDEPS_API_BASE}/api/verdict (default https://freshdeps.vercel.app).

Install (Claude Desktop / Cursor)

Once published:

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "freshdeps": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "freshdeps-mcp"] }
  }
}

    "freshdeps": {
      "command": "node",

    }
  }
}

Run / test manually

Terminal

A guidance signal from public completeness & health data — not a user rating. New listings start lower and rise as they add docs, get verified, and grow adoption. Signals we can't observe for a listing are skipped, not counted against it.
