Consider: MCP Tools - Swiss Army Knife for MCP Servers

[joshfree]

Consider investigating "MCP Tools" project as part of tool confidence testing, mock testing, etc.

A comprehensive command-line interface for interacting with MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers.
Discover, call, and manage tools, resources, and prompts from any MCP-compatible server.
Supports multiple transport methods, output formats, and includes powerful mock and proxy server capabilities.

MCP Tools is a CLI-based alternative I’ve developed that emphasizes command-line workflows, automation, and extended functionality. Key differences include:
Command-line interface for scripting and automation
Native installation via Homebrew or from source
Proxy mode for shell script integration
Mock server capabilities for development and testing
Interactive shell for persistent connections
Flexible output formatting options
