Remote read-only MCP server that lets an assistant look up public crates.io metadata for any Rust crate by name.
What you can do
Look up a Rust crate by name and get its latest version, description, license and repository link
See download counts, recent downloads, max version and last update time
Retrieve documentation and homepage links for the crate
When to use it
Useful when working with Rust dependencies and you want the assistant to check a crate's current version, license, popularity or project links without leaving the conversation.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint; no login, API key, environment variables or headers are needed. Network access to the server and to the public crates.io API is required.
Before you install
Read-only and unauthenticated; it only fetches public crates.io data and does not modify anything. Requests are relayed to the third-party crates.io API.
Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.
Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.
Use with an agent
Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.
Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/dev.fly.looper-products%2Fcrates-package-info/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.
Read-only: fetch public metadata for a Rust crate from the free, unauthenticated crates.io API (https://crates.io/api/v1/crates/<name>). Returns name, latest version, description, license, repository, downloads, recent_downloads, max_version, updated_at, documentation and homepage. No login or API key.
