Usage

Asking Questions

# Ask a question to the default server

Managing Servers

# List all configured servers
mcp-cli servers list

mcp-cli servers add my-server https://mcp-server.example.com/sse

Configuration

The CLI stores its configuration in ~/.config/mcp_cli/config.json. This file is created automatically when you first run the CLI, and it contains:

• A list of configured servers with their URLs
• The default server to use when none is specified

Requirements

• Python 3.9 or higher
• mcp package (installed automatically as a dependency)
