description: Use the mcporter CLI to list, configure, auth, and call MCP servers/tools directly (HTTP or stdio), including ad-hoc servers, config edits, and CLI/type generation. Use when the user needs to interact with MCP servers, call remote tools, manage server authentication or OAuth flows, inspect available MCP tools and their schemas, generate CLI wrappers or TypeScript types from MCP servers, or manage the mcporter daemon and configuration.

# mcporter

Use `mcporter` to work with MCP servers directly.

Quick start

- `mcporter list`
- `mcporter list <server> --schema`
- `mcporter call <server.tool> key=value`

Call tools

- Selector: `mcporter call linear.list_issues team=ENG limit:5`
- Function syntax: `mcporter call "linear.create_issue(title: \"Bug\")"`
- Full URL: `mcporter call https://api.example.com/mcp.fetch url:https://example.com`
- Stdio: `mcporter call --stdio "bun run ./server.ts" scrape url=https://example.com`
- JSON payload: `mcporter call <server.tool> --args '{"limit":5}'`

Auth + config

- OAuth: `mcporter auth <server | url> [--reset]`
- Config: `mcporter config list|get|add|remove|import|login|logout`

Daemon

- `mcporter daemon start|status|stop|restart`

Codegen

- CLI: `mcporter generate-cli --server <name>` or `--command <url>`
- Inspect: `mcporter inspect-cli <path> [--json]`
- TS: `mcporter emit-ts <server> --mode client|types`

Notes

- Config default: `./config/mcporter.json` (override with `--config`).
- Prefer `--output json` for machine-readable results.
