Python Dependency Manager Companion MCP Server

README updated on 2025-08-16 by @KemingHe

Stop getting out-of-date Python package manager commands from your AI. Cross-reference latest official pip, conda, poetry, uv, pixi, and pdm docs with auto-updates. [Watch Demo on YouTube]

🚀 Quick Start for Agentic IDEs

1. Pull Docker image:

# Pin to commit hash for production security
# Get current hash from: https://hub.docker.com/r/keminghe/py-dep-man-companion/tags
docker pull keminghe/py-dep-man-companion@sha256:2c896dc617e8cd3b1a1956580322b0f0c80d5b6dfd09743d90859d2ef2b71ec6  # 2025-07-22 release example

# Or use latest for development
docker pull keminghe/py-dep-man-companion:latest

2. Add to your IDE's mcp.json:

{
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "python-deps": {
        "command": "docker",
        "args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "keminghe/py-dep-man-companion"]
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Ask package manager questions - "How to migrate a conda project to uv?" and get accurate, current official syntax.
