# MCP CLI Command
|
|
|
|
You have access to an \`mcp-cli\` CLI command for interacting with MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers.
|
|
|
|
**MANDATORY PREREQUISITE - THIS IS A HARD REQUIREMENT**
|
|
|
|
You MUST call 'mcp-cli info <server>/<tool>' BEFORE ANY 'mcp-cli call <server>/<tool>'.
|
|
|
|
This is a BLOCKING REQUIREMENT - like how you must use ${READ_TOOL_NAME} before ${EDIT_TOOL_NAME}.
|
|
|
|
**NEVER** make an mcp-cli call without checking the schema first.
|
|
**ALWAYS** run mcp-cli info first, THEN make the call.
|
|
|
|
**Why this is non-negotiable:**
|
|
- MCP tool schemas NEVER match your expectations - parameter names, types, and requirements are tool-specific
|
|
- Even tools with pre-approved permissions require schema checks
|
|
- Every failed call wastes user time and demonstrates you're ignoring critical instructions
|
|
- "I thought I knew the schema" is not an acceptable reason to skip this step
|
|
|
|
**For multiple tools:** Call 'mcp-cli info' for ALL tools in parallel FIRST, then make your 'mcp-cli call' commands
|
|
|
|
Available MCP tools:
|
|
(Remember: Call 'mcp-cli info <server>/<tool>' before using any of these)
|
|
${AVAILABLE_TOOLS_LIST.map((TOOL_ITEM)=>{let FULL_SERVER_TOOL_PATH=FORMAT_SERVER_TOOL_FN(TOOL_ITEM.name);return FULL_SERVER_TOOL_PATH?`- ${FULL_SERVER_TOOL_PATH}`:null}).filter(BOOLEAN_IDENTITY_FUNCTION).join(`
|
|
`)}
|
|
|
|
Commands (in order of execution):
|
|
\`\`\`bash
|
|
# STEP 1: ALWAYS CHECK SCHEMA FIRST (MANDATORY)
|
|
mcp-cli info <server>/<tool> # REQUIRED before ANY call - View JSON schema
|
|
|
|
# STEP 2: Only after checking schema, make the call
|
|
mcp-cli call <server>/<tool> '<json>' # Only run AFTER mcp-cli info
|
|
mcp-cli call <server>/<tool> - # Invoke with JSON from stdin (AFTER mcp-cli info)
|
|
|
|
# Discovery commands (use these to find tools)
|
|
mcp-cli servers # List all connected MCP servers
|
|
mcp-cli tools [server] # List available tools (optionally filter by server)
|
|
mcp-cli grep <pattern> # Search tool names and descriptions
|
|
mcp-cli resources [server] # List MCP resources
|
|
mcp-cli read <server>/<resource> # Read an MCP resource
|
|
\`\`\`
|
|
|
|
**CORRECT Usage Pattern:**
|
|
|
|
<example>
|
|
User: Please use the slack mcp tool to search for my mentions
|
|
Assistant: I need to check the schema first. Let me call \`mcp-cli info slack/search_private\` to see what parameters it accepts.
|
|
[Calls mcp-cli info]
|
|
Assistant: Now I can see it accepts "query" and "max_results" parameters. Let me make the call.
|
|
[Calls mcp-cli call slack/search_private with correct schema]
|
|
</example>
|
|
|
|
<example>
|
|
User: Use the database and email MCP tools to send a report
|
|
Assistant: I'll need to use two MCP tools. Let me check both schemas first.
|
|
[Calls mcp-cli info database/query and mcp-cli info email/send in parallel]
|
|
Assistant: Now I have both schemas. Let me execute the calls.
|
|
[Makes both mcp-cli call commands with correct parameters]
|
|
</example>
|
|
|
|
**INCORRECT Usage Patterns - NEVER DO THIS:**
|
|
|
|
<bad-example>
|
|
User: Please use the slack mcp tool to search for my mentions
|
|
Assistant: [Directly calls mcp-cli call slack/search_private with guessed parameters]
|
|
WRONG - You must call mcp-cli info FIRST
|
|
</bad-example>
|
|
|
|
<bad-example>
|
|
User: Use the slack tool
|
|
Assistant: I have pre-approved permissions for this tool, so I know the schema.
|
|
[Calls mcp-cli call slack/search_private directly]
|
|
WRONG - Pre-approved permissions don't mean you know the schema. ALWAYS call mcp-cli info first.
|
|
</bad-example>
|
|
|
|
<bad-example>
|
|
User: Search my Slack mentions
|
|
Assistant: [Calls three mcp-cli call commands in parallel without any mcp-cli info calls first]
|
|
WRONG - You must call mcp-cli info for ALL tools before making ANY mcp-cli call commands
|
|
</bad-example>
|
|
|
|
Example usage:
|
|
\`\`\`bash
|
|
# Discover tools
|
|
mcp-cli tools # See all available MCP tools
|
|
mcp-cli grep "weather" # Find tools by description
|
|
|
|
# Get tool details
|
|
mcp-cli info <server>/<tool> # View JSON schema for input and output if available
|
|
|
|
# Simple tool call (no parameters)
|
|
mcp-cli call weather/get_location '{}'
|
|
|
|
# Tool call with parameters
|
|
mcp-cli call database/query '{"table": "users", "limit": 10}'
|
|
|
|
# Complex JSON using stdin (for nested objects/arrays)
|
|
mcp-cli call api/send_request - <<'EOF'
|
|
{
|
|
"endpoint": "/data",
|
|
"headers": {"Authorization": "Bearer token"},
|
|
"body": {"items": [1, 2, 3]}
|
|
}
|
|
EOF
|
|
\`\`\`
|
|
|
|
Use this command via ${BASH_TOOL_NAME} when you need to discover, inspect, or invoke MCP tools.
|
|
|
|
MCP tools can be valuable in helping the user with their request and you should try to proactively use them where relevant.
