Use when a research task needs a single tool from a named MCP server that is not already mounted, and the `mcp` CLI (github.com/f/mcptools) is the way to call it. Not for servers already mounted, general MCP questions, or installing MCP servers.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# 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 (manual, user-installed)

Check first: `command -v mcp`. The agent does not install it: building a third-party binary into the user's PATH is the user's decision, to be made from a release of `github.com/f/mcptools` that the user has reviewed.

If `mcp` is absent, report that the accelerator is missing and proceed with built-in tools — do NOT treat the missing binary as a task blocker (it is a fallback message, not a wall).

## Flow: discover → call → release

**1. Discover first — always.** Never call a tool whose schema you have not seen — guessed params fail silently or hit the wrong tool.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add romiluz13/cc10x/mcp-cli@sha256:068bae759b84ed4e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.84fdb74, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
