E18e
Stop your coding agent from silently adding heavy or unnecessary npm dependencies while you refactor or scaffold packages.
Overview
e18e is a MCP server for the Ship phase that restrains coding agents from adding bloated npm dependencies during changes.
What is this MCP server?
- Official e18e MCP server (@e18e/mcp v0.0.5) via npx stdio
- Keeps agents from installing bloated dependencies
- Source: github.com/e18e/mcp (packages/stdio)
- Lightweight npm package aimed at agent workflows, not a full SCA platform
- Server version 0.0.5
- npm identifier: @e18e/mcp
- runtimeHint: npx
What problem does it solve?
Autonomous agents often add popular but oversized packages, bloating bundle size and maintenance cost before you notice.
Who is it for?
Solo JS/TS builders using MCP agents who repeatedly fight dependency creep on small codebases.
Skip if: Polyglot monorepos without npm, or teams that already enforce dependencies solely through CI lockfile policies and human review only.
What do I get? / Deliverables
With dev.e18e/e18e connected, agent-driven install suggestions align with e18e lean-dependency checks instead of unchecked npm adds.
- Active @e18e/mcp stdio connection in the agent session
- Agent installs constrained by e18e bloated-dependency checks
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Dependency bloat checks belong in Ship’s review lane—right when agents propose installs before you merge or release—not in early idea research. review covers guardrail MCP servers that audit or constrain what agents change in the dependency graph.
How it compares
Agent-side dependency discipline MCP, not a full vulnerability scanner or license compliance suite.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is dev.E18e/E18e for?
JavaScript and TypeScript builders who use AI agents with MCP and want E18e-style checks when packages get added.
When should I use dev.E18e/E18e?
Enable it during Ship review whenever agents can run npm or pnpm install commands or edit package.json before merge.
How do I add dev.E18e/E18e to my agent?
Add a stdio MCP server entry with runtimeHint npx and package @E18e/mcp (v0.0.5) in your Claude Code or Cursor MCP config.
