# Mcporter List, configure, authenticate, and call MCP servers and tools directly from the command line -- supports HTTP and stdio transports, OAuth, codegen, and ad-hoc server connections. The mcporter skill provides a powerful CLI for working with MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers directly. It enables your AI assistant to discover available MCP servers and their tools, call tools with arguments, manage OAuth authentication, configure server connections, and even generate TypeScript types and CLI wrappers from MCP server schemas. ## How It Works mcporter acts as a universal MCP client that can connect to any MCP server via HTTP or stdio transport. It reads server configurations from a local config file (./config/mcporter.json), handles authentication flows including OAuth, and provides a unified interface for discovering and invoking tools across multiple MCP servers. It also includes a daemon mode for persistent connections and code generation capabilities. ## Key Features Server Discovery — List available MCP servers and inspect their tool schemas with mcporter listTool Invocation — Call any MCP tool using selector syntax, function syntax, full URLs, or JSON payloadsStdio Transport — Connect to local MCP servers running as stdio processesOAuth Authentication — Built-in OAuth flow for authenticating with secured MCP serversConfiguration Management — Add, remove, import, and manage server configurationsDaemon Mode — Run a persistent background process for faster repeated tool callsCode Generation — Generate CLI wrappers and TypeScript client types from MCP server schemasJSON Output — Machine-readable output mode for programmatic integration ## Requirements mcporter CLI — The mcporter Node.js package must be installed globally ## Use Cases MCP Server Testing — Quickly test and debug MCP server tools without writing client codeAd-Hoc Tool Calls — Call tools on remote MCP servers by URL without prior configurationServer Configuration — Set up and manage connections to multiple MCP servers from a single configType Generation — Generate TypeScript types and client code from MCP server schemas for integration projects ## Installation Install via: `npx clawhub@latest install mcporter`
