What is mcporter?
mcporter is a versatile command-line interface designed to streamline the lifecycle of Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. It provides a bridge between AI agents and diverse tools, allowing developers to manage configurations, handle authentication, and invoke tool functions directly from the terminal.
By integrating this into your Openclaw Skills library, you gain the ability to interact with both HTTP and stdio-based MCP servers seamlessly. The tool simplifies the complexity of ad-hoc server creation and config management, making it an essential utility for developers building agentic workflows.
mcporter Use Cases
- Centralized management of MCP server configurations and credentials.
- Direct invocation of MCP tools for testing or automated scripting scenarios.
- Generating typed wrappers and CLI interfaces for existing MCP servers to improve developer experience.
- Handling complex authentication flows for MCP environments within Openclaw Skills.
How mcporter Works
- Install the mcporter binary on your local machine (supports macOS, Linux, and Windows).
- Define your MCP server connections within the local configuration directory.
- Use the list command to discover available servers and verify tool accessibility.
- Execute specific tool functions using the call command accompanied by required arguments.
- Optionally generate TypeScript types or CLI wrappers to integrate the server functionality into other projects.
mcporter Setup
To get started with mcporter as part of your Openclaw Skills setup, install the CLI using Homebrew:
brew install pdxfinder/tap/mcporter
After installation, ensure your server configurations are placed in ~/.config/mcporter/. You can verify the installation by running mcporter list.
