About:
mcptools is a command-line interface designed for interacting with Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. It supports both stdio and HTTP transports, enabling seamless communication with AI models and tools. Its primary value lies in providing a unified, scriptable interface for developers working with MCP-based AI services.
Key Features:
  • Supports both stdio and HTTP transport modes
  • Command-line interface for scripting and automation
  • Designed for interoperability with MCP servers
  • Written in Go for performance and portability
  • Open-source with active community development
Use Cases:
  • Automating interactions with AI model servers via CLI
  • Integrating MCP servers into development workflows and pipelines
  • Testing and debugging MCP server implementations
Alternatives:
  • mcp-cli – Another CLI for MCP, but mcptools offers broader transport support (stdio/HTTP)
  • custom scripts – mcptools provides a standardized, maintained tool versus bespoke implementations
