Package Intel MCP — by Datakoot

Software supply-chain intelligence for AI agents — as MCP tools your agent can call mid-task, so it can vet a dependency before it installs it. Covers npm, PyPI and crates.io. No API keys.

Tools

ToolWhat it doesSource
package_infoMetadata for a package: description, latest version, license, homepage & repo linksnpm / PyPI / crates.io
package_versionsFull version history with release datesnpm / PyPI / crates.io
package_downloadsDownload counts and popularity signalnpm / PyPI / crates.io
package_dependenciesDirect dependencies for a given versiondeps.dev
package_healthHealth signals: OpenSSF Scorecard, stars, dependentsdeps.dev
package_searchSearch for packages by keywordnpm / PyPI / crates.io

Every tool accepts an ecosystem of npm, pypi, or crates. No API keys required.

Quick start

claude mcp add --transport http package-intel https://package.datakoot.com/mcp

Or point any MCP client at https://package.datakoot.com/mcp.

Try it in 10 seconds — no key, no signup

Paste this into a terminal:

curl -s https://package.datakoot.com/mcp \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -H 'accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": {"name": "package_health", "arguments": {"ecosystem": "npm", "name": "express"}}}'

You get a supply-chain health snapshot for the npm package express — versions, downloads, dependencies, maintenance signals — no API key, nothing to sign up for.

Or point any MCP client at the URL and just ask your agent, in plain language:

  • "How healthy is the npm package express?"
  • "Before I add left-pad, is it actively maintained and widely used?"
