npm Package Search via MCP

Use this skill when you need to search npm, compare packages, check download stats, or inspect dependencies. No API keys needed.

Available Tools

Tool What it does
npm_search Search npm packages by keyword
npm_info Get detailed package info (version, license, deps, maintainers)
npm_downloads Get download statistics (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly)
npm_versions List recent versions of a package
npm_compare Compare two packages side by side
npm_deps List all dependencies of a package

Workflow

  1. npm_search to find packages by keyword
  2. npm_compare to evaluate two alternatives side by side
  3. npm_info for deep dive on a specific package
  4. npm_downloads to gauge popularity and adoption trends

Key Patterns

  • npm_compare is the most useful tool for "which library should I use?" questions
  • npm_downloads returns daily/weekly/monthly/yearly — use for trend analysis
  • npm_deps helps evaluate dependency footprint before adding a package
