Readme
@anthropic-experimental/dxt
This is a placeholder. It contains no code, no executable, and no install scripts.
You almost certainly want the real tool, which is Anthropic's Desktop Extensions
CLI, published on npm as
@anthropic-ai/dxt
(deprecated upstream and renamed to
@anthropic-ai/mcpb):
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/dxtWhy does this package exist?
dxt is the name of Anthropic's Desktop Extensions CLI, published as
@anthropic-ai/dxt, but no npm package had ever claimed
@anthropic-experimental/dxt. Anyone typing
npm install @anthropic-experimental/dxt would previously get a 404.
An unclaimed name that people plausibly type is an opportunity for a name-squatting or install-confusion attack. This package occupies the name so that nobody else can use it for that, and points you at the real tool instead.
It deliberately ships:
- no
binentry, so it cannot shadow the genuinedxtbinary if both are installed - no
preinstall,postinstall, or any other lifecycle script - no dependencies
- no JavaScript at all — only this README
This package is not affiliated with or endorsed by Anthropic. If you maintain
@anthropic-ai/dxt or represent Anthropic and would like this name transferred
to you, please get in touch and it is yours.
