augments

Augments is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server designed to provide Claude Code with type signatures, documentation, and code examples sourced from any npm package. This tool addresses the challenge of accessing accurate and current API information by auto-discovering documentation from npm registry metadata and resolving TypeScript types from DefinitelyTyped or bundled declarations. Rather than relying on a limited or curated set of packages, Augments supports every npm package, ensuring comprehensive coverage for developers seeking up-to-date references.

The platform operates by processing queries about APIs—such as questions on how specific functions or middleware work—and detecting the user's intent, whether it is to obtain a how-to guide, a reference, or a balanced overview. Upon receiving a query, Augments resolves the relevant npm package and version, then returns type signatures, prose documentation, and code examples formatted according to the detected intent. This enables Claude Code to respond with precise and timely information, reducing reliance on potentially outdated training data or guesswork.

This specialized support extends to a total of 24 frameworks, ensuring richer and more context-aware responses for widely used libraries and tools in the JavaScript and TypeScript ecosystem.

Augments is integrated as a server that can be added to Claude via the Model Context Protocol, allowing external tools to be accessed by the model. The tool is aimed at developers and users of Claude who require reliable API information and code examples for npm packages.
