Use -N or --no-truncate for full descriptions and detailed parameter metadata: This forces the current MCP 2 stateless protocol by default. Use --legacy to force the older initialize-handshake protocol instead: Use --json to output the complete tool definitions, including their input schemas: Inspect a single tool in detail: This displays the tool's complete description, nested input and output schemas, annotations, execution metadata, icons, and meta . Use --json for the complete tool definition as a single JSON object: Call a tool by passing its arguments as a JSON object: Alternatively, use repeatable -a/--argument NAME VALUE options: Use - to read the raw JSON object from standard input: When raw JSON and -a are combined, individual arguments override matching top-level keys in the JSON object and later -a values win. Values are interpreted using the tool's input schema: strings remain literal, while numbers, booleans, arrays, objects, and null are parsed as JSON. The assembled arguments are validated against the input schema before the tool is called. Use --json to print the tool's structuredContent as JSON. If the result has no structured content, this falls back to printing the first text content block: Use --raw f","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/simonw","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/simonw/mcp-explorer/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
