freshcrate MCP server ๐Ÿ”Œ

The tagline is โ€œopen source packages for agentsโ€ โ€” so freshcrate is itself an MCP server. Point any MCP client at one URL and your agent can search, browse, and inspect the whole directory (3166 packages and counting) without leaving the conversation. No install, no API key, read-only.
