MCPorter (mcporter)

MCPorter is a CLI for working with MCP servers. Use it to discover configured servers, read their tool signatures, and call tools directly from the shell.

The two commands that matter most are list (discover and inspect) and call (invoke). Always list before you call so arguments match the real schema.

For exact flags, run mcporter <command> --help. MCPorter discovers servers from its config — the global config at ~/.mcporter/mcporter.json, a project config at ./config/mcporter.json, or an explicit --config <path> — plus editor imports (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, etc.). Use mcporter config list or mcporter list --verbose to see where each server comes from.

Workflow

# 1. See configured servers and their health
mcporter list

# 2. Read one server's tools as TypeScript-like signatures
mcporter list <server>
