e18e/mcp

Helps AI agents avoid installing bloated or outdated npm packages by checking install commands and analyzing source files for imports that should be replaced. Provides curated migration guides when it spots dependencies with better native alternatives or more actively maintained successors. Useful when you're working with Claude on Node.js projects and want a guardrail against pulling in legacy packages or unnecessarily heavy libraries. The server catches these issues during development rather than after they're already in your package.json. Still in early development, so expect breaking changes.

Install

From registry metadata
$ npx add-mcp https://mcp.e18e.dev/mcp --name e18e

Run in your terminal. add-mcp asks which agents to add it to (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and more). Add -g to install it for every project.

Review the command, arguments and environment values before installing. MCP servers run with your local permissions.

Other ways

Claude Code

$ claude mcp add --transport http e18e https://mcp.e18e.dev/mcp

Run in your terminal. Add --scope user to make it available in every project.
