## Description

This MCP server, developed by sammcj, provides AI assistants with up-to-date package version information for npm and PyPI registries. Built with TypeScript, it offers tools to check latest stable versions for individual packages or bulk queries across both ecosystems. The implementation stands out by integrating directly with public registries and providing flexible version range options for different use cases. By connecting AI capabilities with real-time package data, this server enables AI systems to recommend and use current, compatible dependencies when writing or reviewing code. It is particularly useful for maintaining project dependencies, ensuring security compliance, and automating dependency updates in software development workflows.
