You can gradually annotate these packages locally for your project with [1], and then contribute it to [2].
Automatic stub generation may also be helpful [3]

There’s a couple dozen packages on there. This can’t be described as “exactly the same” as npm/typescript if the scale and level of community involvement [1] is nowhere near the same.
1: among the most important things here, in addition to the strength of the type system, where mypy also lacks
