### Available Tools - `search_npm_packages` - Search for npm packages. - Required arguments: - `query` (string): The search query. ![Claude Screenshot](./screenshot.png) ## Installation ### Installing via Smithery To install npm-search for Claude Desktop automatically via [Smithery](https://smithery.ai/server/npm-search-mcp-server): ```bash npx -y @smithery/cli install npm-search-mcp-server --client claude ``` ### Using NPM (recommended) Alternatively you can install `npm-search-mcp-server` via npm: ```bash npm install -g npm-search-mcp-server ``` After installation, you can run it as a command using: ```bash npm-search-mcp-server ``` ### Using uv When using [`uv`](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) no specific installation is needed. We will use [`uvx`](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/guides/tools/) to directly run *npm-search-mcp-server*. ## Configuration ### Configure for Claude.app Add to your Claude settings:

Using npm installation

```json "mcpServers": { "npm-search": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "npm-search-mcp-server"] } } ```

Using uvx

```json "mcpServers": { "npm-search": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["npm-search-mcp-server"] } } ```

### Configure for Zed Add to your Zed settings.json:

Using npm installation

```json "context_servers": { "npm-search-mcp-server": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "npm-search-mcp-server"] } }, ```

Using uvx

```json "context_servers": [ "npm-search-mcp-server": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["npm-search-mcp-server"] } ], ```

## Example Interactions 1. Search for npm packages: ```json { "name": "search_npm_packages", "arguments": { "query": "express" } } ``` Response: ```json { "results": [ { "name": "express", "description": "Fast, unopinionated, minimalist web framework", "version": "4.17.1", "author": "TJ Holowaychuk", "license": "MIT" }, ... ] } ``` ## Debugging You can use the MCP inspector to debug the server. For uvx installations: ```bash npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector npx -y npm-search-mcp-server ``` Or if you've installed the package in a specific directory or are developing on it: ```bash cd path/to/servers/src/npm-search npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uv run npm-search-mcp-server ``` ## Examples of Questions for Claude 1. "Search for express package on npm" 2. "Find packages related to react" 3. "Show me npm packages for web development" ## Buil
