# Package Version MCP Server

[![smithery badge](https://smithery.ai/badge/mcp-package-version)](https://smithery.ai/server/mcp-package-version)

An MCP server that provides tools for checking latest stable package versions from multiple package registries:

- npm (Node.js/JavaScript)
- PyPI (Python)
- Maven Central (Java)
- Go Proxy (Go)
- Swift Packages (Swift)
- AWS Bedrock (AI Models)
- Docker Hub (Container Images)
- GitHub Container Registry (Container Images)
- GitHub Actions

This server helps LLMs ensure they're recommending up-to-date package versions when writing code.

**IMPORTANT: I'm slowly moving across this tool to a component of my [mcp-devtools](https://github.com/sammcj/mcp-devtools) server**

## Installation

Requirements:

- A modern go version installed (See [Go Installation](https://go.dev/doc/install))

Using `go install` (Recommended for MCP Client Setup):

```bash
go install github.com/sammcj/mcp-package-version/v2@HEAD
```

Then setup your client to use the MCP server. Assuming you've installed the binary with `go install github.com/sammcj/mcp-package-version/v2@HEAD` and your `$GOPATH` is `/Users/sammcj/go/bin`, you can provide the full path to the binary:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "package-version": {
      "command": "/Users/sammcj/go/bin/mcp-package-version"
    }
  }
}
```

- For the Cline VSCode Extension this will be `~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json`
- For Claude Desktop `~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
- For GoMCP `~/.config/gomcp/config.yaml`

### Other Installation Methods

Or clone the repository and build it:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/sammcj/mcp-package-version.git
cd mcp-package-version
make
```

You can also run the server in a container:

```bash
docker run -p 18080:18080 ghcr.io/sammcj/mcp-package-version:main
```

Note: If running in a container, you'll need to configure the client to use the URL instead of command, e.g.:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "package-version": {
      "url": "http://localhost:18080",
    }
  }
}
```

#### Tip: Go Path

If `$GOPATH/bin` is not in your `PATH`, you'll need to provide the full path to the binary when configuring your MCP client (e.g. `/Users/sammcj/go/bin/mcp-package-version`).

If you haven't used go applications before and have only just installed go, you may not have a `$GOPATH` set up in your environment. This is
