What it does

CLI interface for interacting with MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers. Provides commands to list available servers and tools, inspect tool JSON schemas, call tools with arguments, and search tools by name with glob patterns.

Overview

MCP CLI is a skill that provides a command-line interface for interacting with MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers. It enables users to list available MCP servers and tools, call MCP tools from the command line, and interact with external tools, APIs, and data sources through the standardized MCP protocol.

Key Features

MCP server interaction: Interface with any MCP server directly from the command line
Tool discovery: List all available MCP servers and their exposed tools to understand what capabilities are accessible
CLI tool invocation: Call MCP tools from the command line without needing a graphical interface or IDE integration
External data access: Connect to external tools, APIs, and data sources through the MCP protocol layer

Who is this for?

This skill is designed for developers and DevOps engineers who want to interact with MCP servers from the command line, especially when working in terminal-only environments or automating MCP tool calls in scripts. It is useful for anyone who needs to discover, test, or invoke MCP server capabilities outside of an IDE.
