MCP is the open protocol that lets AI assistants (Claude, GPT, etc.) call external tools, read data, and interact with the world. mcptools makes building and debugging MCP servers fast and painless.

Building MCP servers today means writing boilerplate JSON-RPC handling, manually testing with echo | node, and guessing why your server isn't connecting. mcptools fixes all of that:

• `mcptools create` — Scaffold a new MCP server in seconds (TypeScript or Python)
• `mcptools test` — Connect to any MCP server and verify it works
• `mcptools inspect` — Watch all JSON-RPC messages in real-time
• `mcptools wrap rest` — Turn any REST API into an MCP server automatically
• `mcptools wrap cli` — Turn any CLI tool into an MCP server automatically

# Install globally
npm install -g mcptools

# Create a new MCP server
mcptools create my-server

# Build and test it
cd my-server
npm install && npm run build
mcptools test --command "node dist/index.js"

npm in
