What problem does it solve?
This skill enables developers to manage MCP servers from a dedicated standalone command-line interface, including server configuration, vault integration, tool execution, and resource access, all without embedding complex runtime dependencies.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Server management: add, list, remove, and test MCP servers with configurable transports and endpoints.
- Tool, resource, and prompt operations: list and call tools, read resources, and get prompts from configured servers.
- Credential vault integration: auto-vault management for secrets and ${vault:NAME} references in configurations.
- Standalone packaging and programmatic usage: build a PyInstaller binary and import components from Python for advanced workflows.
- Configuration and automation: manage mcp.json configurations and scriptable CLI commands for reproducible automation.
Quick Start
Configure a server with exo-mcp server add NAME and begin issuing tool and resource commands from the CLI.
