π¦Έ MCP Package Hero
A comprehensive Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for checking package versions and rating package quality across Python (PyPI), JavaScript/TypeScript (npm), Dart (pub.dev), and Rust (crates.io).
π― Purpose
MCP Package Hero helps you make informed decisions about packages by providing:
Version Information: Get the latest stable version of any package
Quality Ratings: Comprehensive quality analysis across multiple dimensions
llms.txt Documentation: Fetch and generate LLM-friendly documentation files
Package Hero focuses on four major ecosystems:
β Python packages on PyPI
β JavaScript/TypeScript packages on npm
β Dart/Flutter packages on pub.dev
β Rust packages on crates.io
π Features
Version Checking
Simple API: Get latest version for one or multiple packages
Fast: Sub-second response times with async operations
Batch Support: Check up to 10 packages at once
Quality Rating (v1.1.0+)
Comprehensive Analysis: Multi-dimensional package quality scoring
π§ Maintenance Health (35%): Release frequency, issue resolution, PR activity
π Popularity (25%): Downloads, GitHub stars, community adoption
β¨ Quality Metrics (40%): Documentation (35%), license (25%), tests (25%), llms.txt (15%)
Letter Grades: A+ to F rating system for quick assessment
Actionable Insights: Key strengths and red flags for each package
Ecosystem Integration: Leverages native scores (pub.dev pub points, npms.io scores)

π¦ Installation
From PyPI (Recommended)
The fastest and easiest way to use MCP Package Hero is directly from PyPI:
# No installation needed! Just use uvx to run it directly
uvx mcp-package-hero
# Or install it as a tool for repeated use
uv tool install mcp-package-heroFrom Source (Development)
For development or contributing:
# Install uv if you haven't already
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/moinsen-dev/mcp-package-hero.git
cd mcp-package-hero
# Install dependencies
uv sync
# Install the package in editable mode
