Description
Coding agents should pick packages that are fast, reliable, secure, and up-to-date – not just whatever they remember from training data. They need real-time signals: Is this package maintained? Any vulnerabilities? Is there a better alternative?

Could you build this?
Partial Wrapping the public npm registry and providing an MCP server interface is easy, but computing accurate, sub-100ms security and health scores across millions of packages requires heavy continuous background indexing.
What it would actually take: Requires an npm replicate couchdb stream consumer, a real-time indexing pipeline (Kafka/Flink or Go-based workers), and a low-latency caching store like Redis or RocksDB paired with vulnerability feeds (OSV, CVE). The difficult part is continuously evaluating static analysis, dependency trees, and maintenance metrics across millions of package versions while maintaining sub-100ms response latencies. Requires data engineering and security analysis infrastructure.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a dev tools tool for Sales yet.
