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 Desktop **Try it:** `npx @agentneeds/need "compress png images"`

Your server?
This is for the person who owns need — adds Lulu Ads to your own code. Not the install steps above, those are for your users.
Copies a ready prompt: your coding agent installs the lulu-ads SDK, wires the slot, and applies the widget design guide.
