# 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.
