• 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 ask "What is the best AI tool for coding?"

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

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

Managing Servers

# List all configured servers
mcp servers list

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

# Remove a server
mcp servers remove my-server

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

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

# Import server configuration
mcp servers import servers.json

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

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)
