README

Excerpt

MCP CLI (Transient MCP Access)

Overview

The mcp CLI (from github.com/f/mcptools) discovers and invokes MCP server capabilities on-demand. Use it when a task needs ONE server's tool — a doc fetch, a single query, a quick lookup — instead of permanently mounting that server as an always-loaded integration.

This keeps accelerators transient: spun up for the task, used, and dropped. A permanently mounted MCP server costs context on every session whether you call it or not. The CLI costs nothing until you run it.

Composes with cc10x:research.

Prerequisite (install once)

Check first: command -v mcp. If absent, install:
