## What it is
MCPorter is a TypeScript runtime and CLI for discovering, inspecting, and calling Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers without boilerplate. It can generate standalone CLIs and typed TypeScript clients for any MCP server, with zero-config discovery of servers already configured in tools like Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Windsurf, OpenCode, and VS Code.

## Use cases
- call MCP server tools from a terminal or script
- list and inspect tools exposed by MCP servers
- generate a standalone CLI for an MCP server
- generate typed TypeScript clients for MCP tools
- connect AI agents to MCP servers with a typed function-call surface
- handle OAuth authentication for MCP servers
- read MCP resources from the command line

## When to choose
- you want to call MCP tools from scripts, CLIs, or agents without writing protocol boilerplate
- you need to discover MCP servers already configured in your AI coding tools
- you want to ship a focused standalone CLI wrapping a specific MCP server
- you need typed TypeScript clients or .d.ts definitions for MCP tools

## When to avoid
- you need an MCP server implementation rather than a client
- your environment cannot run Node 24+ or Bun
- you only need a GUI for interacting with MCP servers
