pkg-peep
Enables querying NPM package download statistics, metadata, and dependency information through natural language.
README
pkg-peep 👀
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for NPM package intelligence. Get download statistics, package metadata, and dependency information for any NPM package.
How It Works
This MCP server exposes NPM registry APIs as tools that Q CLI and Claude can use:
- MCP Protocol: Server communicates with AI clients via Model Context Protocol
- Tool Registration: NPM API endpoints become callable tools
- No Authentication: Uses public NPM APIs (no API key required)
- JSON Responses: All package data returned as formatted JSON

When you ask Q CLI or Claude Code to "get download stats for react", it:
- Calls the
get_npm_downloadstool - Server makes API request to NPM Downloads API
- Returns formatted results to the AI client
- The agent presents the data to you in context
Features
- 📊 Download Statistics - Weekly, monthly, daily, or custom date ranges
- 📦 Package Metadata - Versions, dependencies, maintainers, license info
- 🔍 Comprehensive Info - Repository links, keywords, creation dates
- ⚡ Fast & Reliable - Direct NPM registry API integration
- 🔑 No API Key Required - Uses public NPM APIs

Installation
For Amazon Q CLI
- Clone or download this repository
- Install dependencies:
npm install - The MCP server is ready to use with Q CLI's MCP support
For Claude Desktop
Add to your Claude Desktop configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pkg-peep": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/pkg-peep/index.js"]
}
}
}
Using NPX (Recommended)
{
"mcpServers": {
"pkg-peep": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "pkg-peep"]
}
}
}
Usage Examples
Get weekly downloads:
Get download stats for "react" package
Custom date range:
Get download stats for "lodash" from 2024-01-01 to 2024-12-31
Package information:
Get package info for "express"
Testing
Run the test suite to verify everything works:
npm test
The tests verify:
- ✅ Tool registration (both download and package info tools)
- ✅ Download stats for popular packages
- ✅ Different time periods (daily, weekly, monthly)
- ✅ Package metadata retrieval
- ✅ Custom date ranges
- ✅ Error handling for non-existent packages
