Why we included this project

Once you start wiring MCP servers into an agent or app, you quickly need a way to see what those servers actually expose and to call tools without writing throwaway code. This CLI handles that from the terminal: you can inspect what a server exposes, such as its tools, resources, and prompts, call them with parameters, and choose JSON, pretty text, or a table for the output. It also includes server-side utilities that earn their keep in daily work, such as a mock server to test a client against, a proxy that routes MCP requests to plain shell scripts, a guard mode that limits which tools are reachable, and a scaffolder for new MCP projects. Since it talks to servers over both stdio and HTTP, local processes and remote endpoints are covered. If you debug MCP servers or build tool integrations, one command beats maintaining custom clients.
