Config

Add this server to your MCP-compatible client using the configuration below.

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

Tools

For each npm or PyPI package, determine whether it is outdated (out of date) and return its current version, release dates, deprecation status, how many stable versions you are behind, and a DATED, CITED "what changed since your version" breaking-change summary. Built for time-blind AI agents whose training cutoff makes them emit deprecated dependency code. Every answer carries source URLs + access dates.

Overview

What is Dependency Freshness Checker?

Dependency Freshness Checker is an MCP server that tells AI coding agents whether an npm or PyPI package is outdated. It returns the latest version, release dates, deprecation status, how many versions behind you are, and a dated breaking-change diff. It reads only public registry APIs and GitHub releases, uses Pay-Per-Event pricing, and is designed for pay-as-you-go agent use.

How to use Dependency Freshness Checker?

Pass a list of packages with ecosystem, name, and optional currentVersion to the MCP tool check_dependency_freshness(packages). Three ways to reach it: via Apify's hosted MCP server at https://mcp.apify.com, as its own MCP server at the Actor's /mcp endpoint, or locally via stdio with a compiled entrypoint.
