mcporter
mcporter is a CLI tool for directly managing and invoking MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers and their tools. Use it to list available servers and tools, authenticate with OAuth, configure connections, call remote tools via HTTP or stdio with various syntax options, generate TypeScript client code, and run an MCP daemon for persistent server management.
