FAQPage Schema
How do I call tools on an MCP server from the command line?

To call MCP server tools from the command line, use mcporter with correct CLI arguments including key=value or JSON payloads. It handles the transport and tool calling details automatically while honoring your configured auth and server defaults.

What is MCP server schema discovery and how does it work?

MCP server schema discovery lists configured servers and inspects available tools and input schemas. mcporter connects via configured servers, URLs, or stdio-backed processes to retrieve and output the schema details for tool invocation.

Can I manage MCP server auth and configuration using a CLI tool?

Yes, you can manage MCP server auth and configuration using a CLI tool. mcporter provides dedicated auth and config commands to manage access and connection details, supporting operational workflows while running in daemon mode.

How do I list available MCP servers configured on my system?

To list available MCP servers configured on your system, run the `mcporter list` command. This quickly discovers and displays configured servers, serving as the entry point for inspecting available tools and schemas.

How do I pass JSON payloads when invoking MCP server tools?

You pass JSON payloads when invoking MCP server tools by including them as CLI arguments using key=value or JSON syntax. mcporter parses these payloads to execute targeted tool calls while honoring config defaults and auth workflows.

What are the limitations of managing MCP servers via a CLI tool?

A limitation of managing MCP servers via a CLI tool is the strict requirement for correct CLI arguments for listing, schema output, and tool calls. Incorrect syntax or missing auth configurations will prevent successful server connection and execution.
