mcp-hive-proxy 0.2.1

A command-line interface for interacting with MCP servers with intelligent question matching

MCP Hive Proxy

A command-line interface for interacting with MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers using the SSE protocol.

Features

• Ask questions to any MCP server directly from the command line
• Intelligent question matching for servers with predefined questions
• Automatic parameter handling for specialized MCP servers
• Manage server configurations with easy add, remove, and list operations
• Set default servers for quick access
• Import and export server configurations
• Standalone script that can be run outside of a virtual environment

Installation

# From the source directory
pip install -e .

# Or once published
pip install mcp-hive-proxy

Usage

Asking Questions

# Ask a question to the default server
mcp-hive-proxy ask "What is the best AI tool for coding?"

# Ask a question to a specific server by name
mcp-hive-proxy ask --server team-mcp "What tools are being used in this team room?"

# Ask a question to a specific server by URL
mcp-hive-proxy ask --url https://mcp-server.example.com/sse "What is the weather today?"

# List available questions for servers with predefined questions
mcp-hive-proxy ask --server team-mcp --list-questions

Managing Servers

# List all configured servers
mcp-hive-proxy servers list

# Add a new server
mcp-hive-proxy servers add my-server https://mcp-server.example.com/sse

# Remove a server
mcp-hive-proxy servers remove my-server

# Set the default server
mcp-hive-proxy servers set-default tweet-finder-mcp

# Export server configuration
mcp-hive-proxy servers export --file servers.json

# Import server configuration
mcp-hive-proxy servers import servers.json

Intelligent Question Matching

Some MCP servers have a predefined set of questions they can answer. The CLI automatically:

1. Detects servers with list/answer patterns
2. Finds the best matching question based on your query
3. Handles required parameters (like s3_key, start_date, end_date)
4. Shows available questions when using the --list-questions flag

Example:

# List available questions on a server
mcp-hive-proxy ask --server team-mcp --list-questions

# Ask a question - the CLI will find the best matching predefined question
mcp-hive-proxy ask --server team-mcp "What tools are my team using?"

Standalone Script

The repository also includes a standalone script mcp_cli_standalone.py that can be run directly without installing the package:

# Make it executable
chmod +x mcp_cli_standalone.py

# Run it directly
./mcp_cli_standalone.py ask "What are the latest AI trends?"

# Or copy it to a location in your PATH
cp mcp_cli_standalone.py ~/bin/mcp-hive-proxy

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)
