I built this because every time I ask Claude or Cursor to use a CLI tool, it either hallucinates a package name or ecommends something outdated.

Need is an MCP server that gives AI agents a verified index of 10,000+ CLI tools with semantic search. The agent searches,installs, uses the tool, then reports back whether it worked so rankings improve with every use.

Try it: npx @agentneeds/need "compress png images"

Install globally with npm install -g @agentneeds/need and it auto-configures for Claude Code, Cursor, and Claude Desktop. The feedback loop is the key part when an agent reports that a tool worked (or didn't), future searches rank better tools higher. It's like PageRank but for CLI tools, powered by real agent usage.
