Mcpd FAQs

Question 1

What is Mcpd and what does it do?

Accepted Answer

Mcpd (Model Context Protocol daemon) is a server that automatically transforms any executable script into a self-describing MCP tool. It allows AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, or any LLM-based agent to discover, understand, and interact with your custom scripts.

Question 2

Can Mcpd support stateful interactions or just simple commands?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Mcpd is designed to support more than just simple commands. Scripts can be configured to expose state via MCP resources, enabling AI assistants to read and potentially modify script-managed state over time.

Question 3

Is there a user interface to manage or test Mcpd tools?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Mcpd includes a built-in web dashboard that provides a convenient UI to browse, inspect, and test all the tools and resources exposed by your scripts. It's enabled by default and accessible via your web browser.

Question 4

How does Mcpd extract information from my scripts?

Accepted Answer

Mcpd discovers executable scripts in a designated directory and automatically extracts their descriptions, options, and metadata by parsing the output generated when the script is run with the `--help` flag. This makes your scripts 'self-describing'.

Question 5

Which AI assistants are compatible with Mcpd?

Accepted Answer

Mcpd is compatible with any client or AI assistant that supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Specific examples of supported clients include Claude Desktop, Cursor, and OpenAI Codex CLI, as well as any custom LLM-based agent configured to connect to an MCP server.
