About Dependency Mcp Server
An MCP server that retrieves the latest stable versions of packages from registries for several programming languages. It is intended for developers and coding agents checking dependency versions across ecosystems.
Key features
- 01Look up latest stable package versions
- 02Support registries across multiple languages
- 03Use asynchronous HTTP requests
- 04Extend package lookup functions
Use cases
- 01Check a dependency version while updating a project
- 02Compare package versions across language ecosystems
MCP support
The server exposes tools for MCP clients to retrieve package versions from registries including Maven Central, PyPI, npm, and crates.io.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
We haven’t collected a package or remote endpoint for this server. Follow the instructions in the project README.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.

Integration with Claude Desktop and Cursor
To configure the Dependency MCP Server with Cursor or Claude Desktop, you have two options:
1. Run as a Local Process
Add the following to your configuration (e.g., in your .cursor/config.json or equivalent):
{
"mcpServers": {
"Dependency Version Server": {
"command": "python3",
"args": ["<path>/dependency-mcp-server/main.py"],
"env": {
"PYTHONUNBUFFERED": "1"
}
}
}
}
- Replace
<path>with the actual path to yourdependency-mcp-serverdirectory. - This configuration will allow Cursor or Claude Desktop to launch and communicate with your Dependency MCP Server automatically.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
