Usable Scanned — metadata only

Simplifies MCP server deployment and integration by eliminating the need to manage separate processes or complex configurations.

Command-line client that turns any MCP server into terminal commands — call tools like `mcp sentry search_issues '{...}'` straight from your shell, with JSON output you can pipe and script. Configure stdio or HTTP servers once in servers.json; OAuth 2.0 and token auth are handled automatically. It can also wrap any existing CLI (kubectl, terraform, git) as MCP tools, and a proxy mode (`mcp serve`) exposes all configured servers as a single MCP endpoint for Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP client. Ships as a single Rust binary via Homebrew, Docker, or GitHub Releases.
