Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

lurqrun

v0.0.5

Published

A continuously-updated, evidence-scored index of JS/TS frameworks and libraries, exposed as an MCP server, CLI, and agent skill — so AI coding assistants get fresh, objective dependency recommendations.

Readme

lurq

dynamic index of sdk's, frameworks, and libraries exposed as an mcp server. cli-based installable agent skill, compatible with agentic code assistants and ides, including vscode, cursor, windsurf, claude code, and codex. lurq focuses specifically on objective package recommendations from open-source dependencies.

lurq is a companion to your coding agent: it recommends and explains packages, and your agent writes the code. prioritized for token cost, speed, and retrieval quality, and diagrams a stack you've chosen when prompted. notice: lurq contains a growing, comprehensive database of packages, allowing newer dependencies to be exposed to the agent outside of the training data of the underlying model.

v1 scope: the javaScript/typeScript web stack (npm) only.


quick start: connect your agent

not public yet. lurq unlocks at launch. join the waitlist; the steps below are how it'll work once it's live.

lurq is a hosted service: you don't run a database or a sync. get an API key, then run the guided installer:

npx lurqrun install

it prompts for your key, validates it, detects your installed assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code/Copilot, Codex), and writes a keyed remote MCP entry: { "type": "http", "url": "https://api.lurq.run/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer …" } }. no database credentials ever touch your machine. restart your agent afterward.

what your agent gets (mcp tools)

once installed, the agent can call these tools over MCP. every response is compact and carries a dataAsOf timestamp.

  • recommend: best current packages for a described need (≤5, scored, with confidence)
  • evaluate: full evidence read for one package (scores, advisories, usage guide)
  • compare: 2 to 5 packages ranked by health
  • verify: is a package real, healthy, and not risky? (anti-hallucination guard)
  • diagram: a reference-architecture mermaid diagram for a stack (optional)
