### Description (declared)

# Package Version Check MCP Server

MCP server for checking latest stable package versions across 14 ecosystems. Supports Docker tag hints for suffix matching (e.g., `3.12-alpine`), Helm OCI registries, and GitHub Actions metadata lookup with optional README inclusion.

## Configuration

No authentication required for most registries. Optional `GITHUB_PAT` for higher GitHub API rate limits (Swift packages, GitHub Actions).

### Environment Variables

| Variable | Default | Description |
|----------|---------|-------------|
| `GITHUB_PAT` | _(none)_ | GitHub personal access token for higher rate limits |
| `PACKAGE_VERSION_TIMEOUT` | `15` | HTTP request timeout in seconds |
| `PACKAGE_VERSION_TRANSPORT` | `stdio` | Transport mode: `stdio` or `http` |
| `PACKAGE_VERSION_PORT` | `8000` | Port for HTTP transport mode |
