mcporter — MCP Tool CLI
You call MCP Server tools via mcporter. Your config is at /home/openhuman/.openhuman/config/mcporter.json (mcporter's default path — no --config flag needed).
Commands
mcporter list
mcporter list <server-name> --schema
mcporter call <server-name>.<tool-name> key=value key2=value2
mcporter call <server-name>.<tool-name> --args '{"key":"value","count":5}'
Output is JSON — parse with jq when needed.
When Your Coordinator Notifies You About New MCP Tools
When your coordinator @mentions you saying a new MCP server has been configured, follow this workflow:
Step 1: Pull the updated config
Run your file-sync skill to pull the latest files from MinIO.
Step 2: Discover the new server and its tools
mcporter list
mcporter list <server-name> --schema
Step 3: Generate a skill for the new MCP server
After understanding the tools, create a skill directory and SKILL.md so you have a permanent reference:
