# OpenCLI Agent Pack: mcporter

Use this when an AI agent needs to work with `mcporter`.

## What this CLI is for
Runtime and CLI for connecting to configured Model Context Protocol servers. Built by Peter Steinberger.

Best for: mcp workflows, tool server connections, and agent integrations from the terminal.

## Agent readiness
Usable with guardrails (50/100)
- Supports non-interactive/scripted use.
- Works well in CI or repeatable automation.

## Install
```sh
npm i -g mcporter
```

## Verify before real work
```sh
mcporter --version
```
Expected signal: mcporter responds locally and is ready for the first real command.

## Safe starting commands
```sh
mcporter --version
```

```sh
mcporter --help
```

## Guardrails for agents
- Prefer small commands and ask the agent to summarize plain text output.
- Network access is required; avoid leaking secrets in logs.

## Suggested agent instruction
You may use mcporter (`mcporter`) for mcp workflows, tool server connections, and agent integrations from the terminal.. First install it if missing, then run the verify command. Start with read-only or inspection commands. Summarize what you found before changing anything. Ask for confirmation before commands that mutate remote state, spend money, deploy, delete data, merge code, or expose secrets.
