SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

mcporter removes the friction of interacting with MCP servers and tools by providing a single CLI to list servers, authenticate, edit configuration, and invoke tools over HTTP or stdio without ad-hoc scripting.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Server discovery & inspection: list available MCP servers and view tool schemas for exploration and integration.
  • Flexible invocation: call tools using selectors, function syntax, full URLs, stdio-backed servers, or JSON payloads for automation and testing.
  • Auth, config, and daemon control: perform OAuth flows, manage config files, and run the mcporter daemon for background execution.
  • Code generation & inspection: generate CLI clients, inspect generated CLIs, and emit TypeScript types/clients for integration into developer workflows.

Quick Start

Use mcporter to list available servers and call a tool with a key=value argument and request JSON output.

How do I list available MCP servers and inspect their tool schemas?▼

You can list available MCP servers and inspect their tool schemas by running a server discovery command in the CLI, which outputs the available servers and their tool schemas for exploration and integration.

Does mcporter support both HTTP and stdio transports for invoking MCP tools?▼

Yes, mcporter supports both HTTP and stdio transports for invoking MCP tools, allowing you to call tools using selectors, function syntax, full URLs, stdio-backed servers, or JSON payloads for automation and testing.

How do I run an MCP server in the background for continuous tool invocation?▼

You can run an MCP server in the background for continuous tool invocation by starting the mcporter daemon, which manages background execution and allows you to run ad-hoc servers for ongoing operations.
