npm Package Research via MCP

Use this skill for in-depth npm package research: bundle sizes, vulnerability scanning, download comparisons, and dependency trees. No API keys needed.

Available Tools

ToolWhat it does
searchSearch npm packages by query
package_infoDetailed info: description, license, repo, dependencies
downloadsDownload stats for a package
compare_downloadsCompare download counts across multiple packages
bundle_sizeBundle size (minified + gzip) via Bundlephobia
vulnerabilitiesKnown vulnerability info and advisory links
dependency_treeShow direct dependencies as a tree
download_trendsDaily breakdown with sparkline visualization

Workflow

1. For "which library?" questions: compare_downloads + bundle_size for each candidate 2. For security audits: vulnerabilities on each dependency 3. For adoption analysis: download_trends to see growth patterns 4. For dependency footprint: dependency_tree before adding a new package

Key Patterns

  • bundle_size calls Bundlephobia — some packages may not be analyzable (native modules, very large packages)
  • compare_downloads accepts multiple package names — ideal for "zustand vs jotai vs valtio" comparisons
  • vulnerabilities checks npm audit advisories — always run this before recommending a package
  • download_trends includes a text sparkline for quick visual trend assessment
