SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It removes the friction of using Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers by giving you a universal command-line client that supports persistent sessions and OAuth authentication.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Persistent MCP sessions: keep multiple stateful server connections alive for faster iteration across tasks.
  • OAuth 2.1 authentication: securely log in to MCP servers and reuse saved profiles for repeatable access.
  • JSON output for scripting: enable deterministic pipelines where tool results can be parsed with jq or other shell utilities.
  • Tool/Resource/Prompt discovery: search tools across sessions, inspect schemas, and fetch resources or prompts for orchestration.
  • Use case: build an agent workflow that connects to an MCP server once, discovers the right tool, calls it with typed arguments, and extracts results in machine-readable JSON for further processing.

Quick Start

Use mcpc to connect to an MCP server and list its available tools by running: mcpc connect mcp.apify.com @apify && mcpc @apify tools-list

FAQPage Schema
How do I invoke MCP tools from the command line?

You can invoke MCP tools from the command line by establishing a persistent session with a universal client, passing typed arguments, and receiving deterministic JSON output for shell scripting and agent integration.

Can I run shell scripts that connect to remote MCP servers with OAuth?

Yes, shell scripts can connect to remote MCP servers using OAuth 2.1 authenticated profiles, which are securely stored and reused to maintain repeatable, stateful access across automated workflows.

What is the best way to manage persistent sessions for Model Context Protocol servers?

Managing persistent sessions for Model Context Protocol servers involves a client that controls the session lifecycle—connecting, closing, and restarting—to keep multiple stateful server connections alive for faster iteration.

How do I discover tools and resources across multiple MCP connections?

You can discover tools and resources across multiple MCP connections by searching active sessions, inspecting schemas, and fetching prompts or resources to orchestrate complex agent workflows.

Does this MCP client support JSON output for pipeline parsing with jq?

Yes, this MCP client supports deterministic JSON-mode execution, enabling pipelines where tool invocation results are output as machine-readable JSON for direct parsing with shell utilities like jq.

Why do I need typed argument handling for MCP tool invocation?

Typed argument handling for MCP tool invocation ensures deterministic execution by validating input parameters against tool schemas, preventing runtime errors during automated shell scripting and agent orchestration.
