What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 6, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

• packagecloud_list_repositories

  List the package repositories of this account: name, fqname (user/repo, used by every other tool), privacy, package count and last push. include_collaborations adds repositories you collaborate on. GET /repos.

• packagecloud_get_repository

  One repository: name, fqname, url, privacy, package count and last push. GET /repos/{user}/{repo}.

• packagecloud_create_repository

  WRITE: create a new, empty package repository in this account (the plan limits how many private ones). Returns the URL of the new repository. POST /repos.

• packagecloud_list_distributions

  The Linux distributions and versions packagecloud supports for deb, dsc and rpm packages, with their index_name (for example ubuntu / jammy) and numeric version ids. GET /distributions.

• packagecloud_list_packages

  List every package file in a repository (not grouped), newest data first as the server orders it. Each item carries ready-made URLs: package_url, versions_url, downloads_*_url, promote_url, destroy_url and download_url; pass those to the other package tools. Paged. GET /repos/{us

• packagecloud_search_packages

  Search a repository by package file name. An empty q returns every package. filter limits by type (rpms, debs, dscs, gem, python, node); dist (for example ubuntu or el/6) overrides filter; arch applies to Alpine/RPM/Debian only. Items carry the same ready-made URLs as list_packag

• packagecloud_list_package_groups

  List the packages of one type, grouped by name with a versions_count and a versions_url (pass that to packagecloud_list_package_versions). Narrow by distro, then version, then arch (each needs the previous one; '*' matches any). Examples: type rpm; type deb + distro ubuntu + vers

• packagecloud_get_package

  Details of one package file (size, checksums, dependencies, licenses, download counts and its other URLs). Pass the package_url of an item from list_packages, search_packages or list_package_versions. GET {package_url}.

• packagecloud_list_package_versions

  All versions of one package name (for deb/rpm: per distro, version and architecture). Pass the versions_url of an item from list_package_groups, or derive it from a package object. Paged. GET {versions_url}.

• packagecloud_get_package_downloads

  Download statistics of one package version: a count, a time series, or (repository owners only) the detail of each download. Default range is the last 7 days; pass start_date=19700101Z for all time. Pass the package_url of the package; Java and generic files have no download stat

• packagecloud_get_repository_installs

  How often a repository was installed (set up on a machine): a count, a time series, or (owners only) the detail of each install, optionally for one distro or distro+version. Default range is the last 7 days; pass start_date=19700101Z for all time. GET /repos/{user}/{repo}/stats/i

• packagecloud_list_gpg_keys

  The GPG keys of a repository (repository signing keys and package signing keys): name, fingerprint, type and the public key download URL. GET /repos/{user}/{repo}/gpg_keys.json.

• packagecloud_get_gpg_key

  One GPG key of a repository by its key name (as returned by list_gpg_keys, for example user-repo-85D7FBF915DFCBC6.pub.gpg). GET /repos/{user}/{repo}/gpg_keys/{keyname}.json.

• packagecloud_get_readme

  The Markdown README of a repository. GET /repos/{user}/{repo}/readme.json.

• packagecloud_create_readme

  WRITE: create the Markdown README of a repository. Use append_readme to add to an existing one. POST /repos/{user}/{repo}/readme.json.

• packagecloud_append_readme

  WRITE: append Markdown to the existing README of a repository (existing text is kept). Not idempotent: calling it twice appends twice. PATCH /repos/{user}/{repo}/readme.json.

• packagecloud_promote_package

  WRITE, DESTRUCTIVE: MOVE a package file to another repository (for example staging -> production). It no longer exists in the source repository afterwards, and its download statistics are cleared. Pass the promote_url of the package object and the destination as user/repo. POST {

• packagecloud_delete_package

  WRITE, DESTRUCTIVE AND IRREVERSIBLE: delete one package file from its repository (a gem is yanked). Clients that depend on it will break. Pass the destroy_url of the package object and repeat its file name (the last path segment, for example jake-1.0-2.el6.x86_64.rpm) as confirm_
