mcporter

Interact with MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers using the mcporter CLI. Use this skill when you need to list available MCP servers, view tool schemas, call MCP tools, manage OAuth authentication, or generate CLI wrappers and TypeScript types for MCP servers.

Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
Self-contained
Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.
Open source
Published by Dicklesworthstone on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Mcporter AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Dicklesworthstone/pi_agent_rust.git /tmp/pi_agent_rust
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/pi_agent_rust/tests/ext_conformance/artifacts/agents-mikeastock/skills/mcporter .claude/skills/mcporter

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Mcporter in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Mcporter on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Mcporter is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

mcporter

Use the mcporter CLI to interact with MCP servers directly via HTTP or stdio.

Quick Start

List available servers: mcporter list
View tools for a server: mcporter list <server> --schema
Call a tool: mcporter call <server.tool> key=value

Calling Tools

Multiple syntaxes are supported for calling MCP tools:

Selector syntax

bash
mcporter call linear.list_issues team=ENG limit:5

Function syntax

bash
mcporter call "linear.create_issue(title: \"Bug\")"

Full URL

bash
mcporter call https://api.example.com/mcp.fetch url:https://example.com

Stdio mode (ad-hoc servers)

bash
mcporter call --stdio "bun run ./server.ts" scrape url=https://example.com

JSON payload

bash
mcporter call <server.tool> --args '{"limit":5}'

Authentication and Configuration

OAuth authentication

bash
mcporter auth <server | url>        # Authenticate with a server
mcporter auth <server> --reset      # Reset authentication

Configuration management

bash
mcporter config list                # List all configured servers
mcporter config get <key>           # Get a config value
mcporter config add <server>        # Add a server
mcporter config remove <server>     # Remove a server
mcporter config import <file>       # Import configuration
mcporter config login               # Login to mcporter cloud
mcporter config logout              # Logout from mcporter cloud

Daemon Management

bash
mcporter daemon start               # Start the daemon
mcporter daemon status              # Check daemon status
mcporter daemon stop                # Stop the daemon
mcporter daemon restart             # Restart the daemon

Code Generation

Generate CLI wrapper

bash
mcporter generate-cli --server <name>
mcporter generate-cli --command <url>

Inspect generated CLI

bash
mcporter inspect-cli <path>
mcporter inspect-cli <path> --json  # JSON output

Generate TypeScript types

bash
mcporter emit-ts <server> --mode client   # Generate client code
mcporter emit-ts <server> --mode types    # Generate type definitions

Tips

Configuration file defaults to ./config/mcporter.json. Override with --config <path>.
Use --output json for machine-readable output when parsing results programmatically.
When calling tools, both key=value and key:value syntaxes work for arguments.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Mcporter AI skill do?

Why use Mcporter on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Mcporter is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Mcporter in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/Dicklesworthstone/pi_agent_rust/tree/main/tests/ext_conformance/artifacts/agents-mikeastock/skills/mcporter. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Mcporter?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Mcporter?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Mcporter with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Mcporter AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by Dicklesworthstone. Check the repository for licensing terms. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
