From the repository

Install by building from source with cargo build --release or download a pre-built .mcpb from the GitHub Releases. The server exposes three tools: find_packages (ranked search with reuse score), inspect_package (license, OSV vulnerabilities, deprecation status), and find_mcp_servers (official MCP registry search).
