# Quickly configure library registries as upstreams with the new Libraries tab

Library registries provide a vendor-curated feed of open source packages. Packages may be pre-vetted, rebuilt from source, and security scanned by the vendor. For details on which of these features are available for a specific registry, see the latest documentation for the registry vendor.

Currently supported quick configure vendors:

- **Chainguard Libraries**:
   - Maven
   - Maven Remediated
   - npm
   - PyPI
   - PyPI Remediated  

- **RapidFort Curated Libraries**:
   - npm

Pick a vendor and library, name the upstream, and add your credentials - Cloudsmith fills in the proxy URL for you.

For more details, see our [Chainguard Libraries](https://docs.cloudsmith.com/integrations/integrating-with-chainguard-libraries) and [RapidFort Curated Libraries](https://docs.cloudsmith.com/integrations/integrating-with-rapidfort-curated-libraries) integration guides.

Other library registries can still be added as upstreams by using manual configuration. To register interest in additional quick configure vendor support, please [contact us](/company/contact-us).
