# npm Packages for MCP (Model Context Protocol) — Search

**Use case:** 

npm packages tagged with the mcp keyword, as returned by the registry search: name, version, description, weekly downloads, dependents, search score and last publish date. For developers looking for MCP servers and SDKs and for founders sizing the ecosystem. Change the query (keywords:, author:, maintainer: qualifiers or free text) and raise searchMaxItems for more.

## Input

```json
{
  "packages": [
    "hono",
    "@x402/hono"
  ],
  "searchQueries": [
    "keywords:mcp"
  ],
  "searchMaxItems": 25,
  "searchExcludeUnstable": false,
  "searchExcludeInsecure": false,
  "searchHydrate": false,
  "versionsLimit": 10,
  "includeDependencies": true,
  "includeDependents": true,
  "includeBundleSize": false,
  "includeDownloadsYear": false,
  "includeVersionDownloads": false,
  "fields": []
}
```

## Output

```json
{
  "query": {
    "label": "Query",
    "format": "text"
  },
  "name": {
    "label": "Package",
    "format": "text"

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/yadroo/npm-package-intel.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
