FAQPage Schema
How do I manage MCP servers from the command line?

You can manage MCP servers from the command line by using a dedicated CLI to list available servers, configure connections, authenticate, and directly invoke tools. It supports both HTTP and stdio protocols for local or remote interactions.

Can I call MCP server tools directly from a terminal?

Yes, you can call MCP server tools directly from a terminal using the CLI's call subcommand. This allows for ad-hoc server interactions and direct tool invocation over either HTTP or stdio connections.

How do I discover schemas for MCP servers?

To discover schemas for MCP servers, use the CLI's list functionality to view available servers and their schemas. This enables quick inspection of tool definitions and integration hints for code generation.

Does the CLI support both HTTP and stdio for MCP server interactions?

The CLI supports both HTTP and stdio protocols for MCP server interactions. This allows developers to configure connections and call server tools across both local and remote environments seamlessly.

What is the best way to automate ad-hoc MCP server interactions?

The best way to automate ad-hoc MCP server interactions is using a unified CLI that handles command parsing for list, auth, config, and call subcommands. This enables schema discovery and automation workflows without juggling multiple tools.

How do I generate type-safe clients for MCP tools?

You can generate type-safe clients for MCP tools by inspecting CLI workflows and utilizing integration hints provided by the server schemas. This streamlines code generation and tooling for software engineering and DevOps teams.
