mcporter

Use this skill when the user wants direct MCP server discovery or one-off MCP tool calls outside the already wired Elephant Agent connector surface.

Preferred Flow

1. Probe the local setup with npx mcporter list.
2. Inspect one server's tools with schema output before calling anything.
3. Prefer --output json or equivalent structured output when tool results need to be parsed.
4. Use ad hoc HTTP or stdio server mode only when no configured server already exists.

Guardrails

• Confirm auth or config changes before mutating mcporter config.
• If OAuth or browser auth is required, state that clearly instead of pretending it succeeded.
