searchTerm
(string, required): The term to search for in npm packages. Should contain all relevant context. Use plus signs (+) to combine related terms (e.g., "react+components" for React component libraries).
How to use it
searchTerm is exposed by the Node Code Sandbox MCP MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), and the searchTerm tool becomes available to the model automatically. See the full listing for setup details and every tool this server provides.
