MCP Server Overview

whatsdiff includes a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI assistants to query package registries and gather dependency information.

What is the MCP Server?

The MCP server provides AI assistants with tools to research package versions, compatibility, release notes, and dependencies across Composer and npm ecosystems.

Unlike the CLI tool which analyzes local project changes, the MCP server focuses on querying external package registries (Packagist and npm) to help with dependency research and upgrade planning.
