}

Environment Variables

• PYPI_INDEX_URL: PyPI index URL (default: https://pypi.org/simple/)
• CACHE_TTL: Cache time-to-live in seconds (default: 3600)
• PRIVATE_PYPI_URL: Private PyPI repository URL (optional)
• PRIVATE_PYPI_USERNAME: Private PyPI username (optional)
• PRIVATE_PYPI_PASSWORD: Private PyPI password (optional)

Available MCP Tools

The server provides the following MCP tools:

1. get_package_info - Get comprehensive package information
2. get_package_versions - List all available versions for a package
3. get_package_dependencies - Analyze package dependencies
4. check_package_python_compatibility - Check Python version compatibility
5. get_package_compatible_python_versions - Get all compatible Python versions

Example Usage with MCP Client

# Example: Check if Django is compatible with Python 3.9
result = await mcp_client.call_tool("check_package_python_compatibility", {
    "package_name": "django",
    "target_python_version": "3.9"
})

# Example: Get package information
info = await mcp_client.call_tool("get_package_info", {
    "package_name": "requests"
})

Development Status

🎉 Core functionality implemented and ready for use!

Current implementation status:

• ✅ Basic project structure
• ✅ PyPI API client with caching
• ✅ MCP tools implementation (package info, versions, dependencies)
• ✅ Python version compatibility checking
• ✅ CI/CD pipeline with multi-platform testing
• ⏳ Private repository support (planned)
• ⏳ Advanced dependency analysis (planned)
