Do I need to install MCPorter to use it?

No, you can run it directly using npx mcporter, though global installation via npm or Homebrew is available for faster access.

How do I see which MCP tools are available?

You can use 'npx mcporter list' to see all discovered servers and 'npx mcporter list [server_name]' to inspect specific tools and their schemas.

Does it support remote MCP servers?

Yes, MCPorter supports HTTP MCP endpoints using the --http-url flag for ad-hoc connections to remote services.

Can I use this for browser automation?

Yes, you can connect to servers like chrome-devtools-mcp via stdio to perform web scraping, screenshots, and DOM inspection directly from the CLI.

Can I generate code with MCPorter?
