mcporter

name	mcporter
description	Use MCP servers through the mcporter CLI wrapper from pi. Use when the task needs external MCP-backed tools, server discovery, or tool calls via mcporter.

Mcporter

Use this skill when the user wants MCP functionality through mcporter.

Workflow

1. Check project configuration:
   • .pi/mcporter.json if present
   • .pi/mcporter.example.json for the expected shape
2. Use /mcporter to inspect the configured wrapper command.
3. Use mcporter_list before mcporter_call when you need server/tool discovery or schemas.
4. Use mcporter_resource to list/read MCP resources.
5. Prefer explicit, small tool arguments. Keep MCP calls auditable in the response.

Tools

mcporter_list accepts optional server and schema fields.

The mcporter_call pi tool accepts:

{
  "server": "server-name",
  "tool": "tool-name",
  "arguments": { "key": "value" }
}

The extension expands these into the configured mcporter command template. The default template uses mcporter call {selector} --args {argumentsJson} --output json.

Configuration

Copy .pi/mcporter.example.json to .pi/mcporter.json and adjust callArgs, listArgs, or resourceArgs to match the installed mcporter version.

Supported placeholders:

• {server}
• {tool}
• {selector} (server.tool)
• {argumentsJson}
• {schemaFlag}
• {uri}
