This MCP server helps you check and validate the latest stable package versions across multiple popular registries, providing valuable information when recommending or using packages in your code.
go install github.com/sammcj/mcp-package-version/v2@HEAD
git clone https://github.com/sammcj/mcp-package-version.git
cd mcp-package-version
make
docker run -p 18080:18080 ghcr.io/sammcj/mcp-package-version:main
After installation, configure your MCP client to use the server:
If you installed with go install, provide the full path to the binary:
{
"mcpServers": {
"package-version": {
"command": "/Users/yourusername/go/bin/mcp-package-version"
}
}
}
If running in a container, use the URL configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"package-version": {
"url": "http://localhost:18080"
}
}
}
~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json~/.config/gomcp/config.yamlIf you're new to Go, you might need to set up your $GOPATH for go install to work correctly. Add this to your shell configuration file (e.g., ~/.zshrc):
[ -z "$GOPATH" ] && export GOPATH="$HOME/go"; echo "$PATH" | grep -q ":$GOPATH/bin" || export PATH="$PATH:$GOPATH/bin"
The server supports two transport modes:
mcp-package-version
mcp-package-version --transport sse --port 18080 --base-url "http://localhost:18080"
This makes the server available at http://localhost:18080/sse.
--transport, -t: Transport type (stdio or sse). Default: stdio--port: Port for SSE transport. Default: 18080--base-url: Base URL for SSE transport. Default: http://localhostCheck latest versions of NPM packages:

To add this MCP server to Claude Code, run this command in your terminal:
claude mcp add-json "package-version" '{"command":"mcp-package-version"}'See the official Claude Code MCP documentation for more details.
There are two ways to add an MCP server to Cursor. The most common way is to add the server globally in the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file so that it is available in all of your projects.
If you only need the server in a single project, you can add it to the project instead by creating or adding it to the .cursor/mcp.json file.
To add a global MCP server go to Cursor Settings > Tools & Integrations and click "New MCP Server".
When you click that button the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file will be opened and you can add your server like this:
{
"mcpServers": {
"package-version": {
"command": "mcp-package-version"
}
}
}To add an MCP server to a project you can create a new .cursor/mcp.json file or add it to the existing one. This will look exactly the same as the global MCP server example above.
Once the server is installed, you might need to head back to Settings > MCP and click the refresh button.
The Cursor agent will then be able to see the available tools the added MCP server has available and will call them when it needs to.
You can also explicitly ask the agent to use the tool by mentioning the tool name and describing what the function does.
To add this MCP server to Claude Desktop:
1. Find your configuration file:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json2. Add this to your configuration file:
{
"mcpServers": {
"package-version": {
"command": "mcp-package-version"
}
}
}3. Restart Claude Desktop for the changes to take effect
