Questions

How do you decide a package is dead?

We check whether the GitHub repo is archived, deleted, renamed or transferred, read the start of its README for a deprecation or “we moved” notice, look at the npm deprecation flag or PyPI’s Inactive status and yanked releases, and measure the time since the last push.

Is no commits for a year a problem?

Not always: small, finished libraries can be stable for years. Treat it as a signal to look at open issues and security advisories, not as proof.

Let your agent pick maintained code. JustClaw-It is an MCP server with 1,562,000+ licence-cleared, scored code components. Search is free; every result carries its licence and attribution.

Remote MCP endpoint: https://justclaw.it.com/mcp (API key auth). Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf and other MCP clients. A one-line CLI installer (@justclaw-it/cli) is coming.
