MCP Tools

What it does

MCP Tools is a comprehensive command-line interface and web-based utility for interacting with Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. It allows developers to test, debug, and explore MCP servers regardless of the transport method, serving as a bridge between the server implementation and AI clients.

Tools

• tools: List all available tools on a connected MCP server.
• resources: List all available resources on the server.
• prompts: List all available prompts.
• call: Execute a specific tool, resource, or prompt with provided parameters.
• shell: Start an interactive CLI session for rapid exploration of a server.
• web: Launch a browser-based UI for form-based tool execution.
• mock: Create a simulated MCP server for testing client applications.
• proxy: Map shell scripts or inline commands as MCP tools.
• guard: Intercept and filter MCP requests to restrict access to specific tools.
