Npm
Run install, audit, outdated, and list through the agent as typed JSON for Node monorepos and side projects.
Overview
io.github.Dave-London/npm is a Build-phase MCP server that runs npm/pnpm install, audit, outdated, and list as structured JSON for agents.
What is this MCP server?
- stdio MCP server (@paretools/npm v0.8.0) for npm and pnpm
- Typed JSON for install, audit, outdated, and list operations
- Surfaces vulnerability and drift signals without full audit text walls
- From the Pare suite (Dave-London/Pare) for token-efficient agent workflows
- Model Context Protocol server.schema.json 2025-12-11 compliant package metadata
- Server version 0.8.0
- Four operation families: install, audit, outdated, list
- npm package @paretools/npm, stdio transport
Community signal: 128 GitHub stars.
What problem does it solve?
Coding agents misread long npm audit and install logs and burn context on repetitive package manager output.
Who is it for?
Indie Node and pnpm users who want agents to manage dependencies and audits during active development.
Skip if: Pure Python, Rust-only, or Yarn/Bun-only shops that will not standardize on npm or pnpm interfaces.
What do I get? / Deliverables
You get consistent typed summaries so the agent can upgrade packages, interpret audit hits, and list deps without raw terminal spam.
- JSON summaries of install, list, outdated, and audit commands
- Agent-actionable dependency and vulnerability signals from local package managers
