FAQ from 📦 NPM Helper - A tool to help your ai assistant with npm package management.🤖?

What dependencies are required to run this server?

The server requires Node.js version 18.x or later and npm version 8.x or later.

How does this server differ from just using npm-check-updates directly?

The server wraps npm-check-updates (and npm search) into MCP tools that an AI assistant can call programmatically, enabling automated, context‑aware dependency management during a conversation.

Does the server modify files directly or just report updates?

Most tools can optionally modify the package.json file (via the upgrade parameter). By default, they only report available updates; the AI assistant controls whether to apply changes.

Where does the package data come from?

All package search and version data is fetched live from the npmjs.org public registry. The server also reads and optionally writes to the local package.json file.
