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?”
