Available tools 23

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

compare
compare_distro_releases
Compare package additions, removals and version changes between two releases.
compare_distros
Compare installation names and commands for a tool across Linux distributions.
compare_package_matrix
Compare up to 50 inventory items across 5 explicit native repository targets. Read-only; indexed-build CVEs only, no cross-distro ranking. Alternatives require source evidence and user confirmation before installation. Disabled servers reject the call.
compare_package_versions
Compare a package's versions and repositories across distributions.
package
get_package
Get package metadata and evidence. arch requires distro and release. Use view=availability to list indexed builds (requires release); absence is not vendor non-support.
get_package_history
Trace indexed package version history for regression investigation.
context
get_context
Get a token-efficient context pack with trust and execution guardrails for an agent.
diagnose
diagnose_linux_error
Turn a package-not-found or command-not-found error into matching packages and install guidance.
distro
get_distro_lifecycle
List cached lifecycle facts for a Linux distribution.
explain
explain_command
Explain and statically inspect a command using the Command Doctor knowledge base. The command is never executed.
file
query_file_provides
Find packages that contain a command or filesystem path.
identify
identify_binary
Reverse an executable name to curated tools and packages.
lint
lint_command
Statically inspect a shell command for unsupported flags and portability issues. The command is never executed.
packages
search_packages
Search package names across repositories and distributions.
plan
plan_distro_migration
Map packages from one distribution release to another and report missing or ambiguous replacements.
release
check_release_lifecycle
Evaluate whether a Linux distribution release is active, nearing EOL or unsupported under a CI policy.
repository
get_repository_health
Read repository freshness and counts. Use view=coordinates for the paginated release/native-architecture catalog and coverage.
resolve
resolve_install
Resolve a tool and distribution to its package, real binary and install command.
suggest
suggest_fix
Return conservative, sourced guidance for command syntax or portability problems. The command is never executed.
tool
get_tool
Get a sourced tool record, commands, flags and distribution mappings.
tools
search_tools
Search curated Linux command-line tools.
vulnerabilities
search_vulnerabilities
Search cached CVE or CNNVD records, with optional distribution and severity filters.
vulnerability
get_vulnerability

PkgSeek Linux Intelligence — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can PkgSeek Linux Intelligence do?
It exposes 23 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_release_lifecycle, compare_distro_releases, compare_distros, compare_package_matrix, compare_package_versions, diagnose_linux_error and 17 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
What is PkgSeek Linux Intelligence mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around compare and package. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.
Is PkgSeek Linux Intelligence working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 87 of 91 checks got a reply (95.6%), average response time 480 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
Is PkgSeek Linux Intelligence still maintained?
The linked repository no longer exists on GitHub — it was deleted or made private. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.
How do I connect PkgSeek Linux Intelligence?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does PkgSeek Linux Intelligence need an API key?
No. PkgSeek Linux Intelligence completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 23 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is PkgSeek Linux Intelligence?
It answers our handshake in 480 ms on average, which is faster than 32% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
