What is Mcp Npm_docs Server?

An MCP server that provides a tool to fetch metadata and documentation (including README content) for NPM packages. It uses the npms.io API and caches results locally with SQLite to improve performance. It is intended for developers using MCP clients (like Cline) who need programmatic access to package documentation.

Install dependencies with npm install, build with npm run build, then run the compiled server with node dist/server.js.
