Arch MCP Server

Package research in arch-mcp spans Wiki page retrieval, ranked AUR searches, and official repository lookups. The official-package tool uses local pacman when available and a remote query otherwise. AUR assessment combines maintainer, popularity, and update signals with PKGBUILD inspection for suspicious commands, obfuscation, and network activity. Its installation workflow checks official repositories first, examines AUR candidates, and blocks installation when critical security issues are detected. Guided prompts organize troubleshooting, preinstallation audits, and dependency planning.

Arch-specific maintenance includes update previews, package removal, orphan cleanup with previews and exclusions, file ownership checks, and installed-file verification. Further tools inspect pacman transactions, cache usage, mirrors, and package-manager settings, while news queries flag references to manual intervention and find announcements since the last pacman update. System information and disk checks also work outside Arch; boot logs and failed-service checks work on systemd-based systems. Installation and removal require sudo access, AUR installation needs paru or yay, and update previews need pacman-contrib. The unofficial community project uses STDIO transport and has no affiliation with Arch Linux.
