# Package Registry MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI assistants and agents
(Claude, Cursor, Copilot, etc.) to search package registries and retrieve
up-to-date package information.

## Getting Started

### Cursor

[![Install MCP Server](https://cursor.com/deeplink/mcp-install-dark.svg)](https://cursor.com/install-mcp?name=package-registry&config=eyJjb21tYW5kIjoibnB4IHBhY2thZ2UtcmVnaXN0cnktbWNwIn0%3D)

Alternatively, in Cursor, you can configure MCP servers in your settings:

1. Open Cursor Settings (`Cmd/Ctrl + ,`)
2. Search for "MCP" or go to Extensions > MCP
3. Add a new server with:
   - **Name**: `package-registry`
   - **Command**: `npx`
   - **Args**: `["package-registry-mcp"]`

### Claude Code

For Claude Code, run the following command in your terminal:

```shell
claude mcp add -s user package-registry npx package-registry-mcp

```

After configuration, you'll have access to package search and information tools.

### Claude Desktop

Add this server to your Claude Desktop by adding the following to your
`claude_desktop_config.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "package-registry": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["package-registry-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

The config file is typically located at:

- **macOS**: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
- **Windows**: `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`

After adding the configuration, restart Claude Desktop.
