AI agents hallucinate package names. `need` gives them a verified index of 10,000+ CLI tools with a feedback loop that gets smarter with every install. **Three MCP tools:** - `search_tools` — semantic search in plain English ("compress png images") - `install_tool` — install via brew, apt, npm, pip, or cargo (allowlisted only) - `report_tool_usage` — success/failure signals that improve rankings for every future agent **Works with:** Claude Code, Cursor, Claude De
