Watchlist / Tracking
Why we’re tracking it
Follow CLI transports, package releases, and client configuration changes
Reviewed · Documentation review; complete setup workflow not independently tested
Best fit
Shell-based inspection, scripting and proxying of MCP servers
What we know
Universal MCP CLI client mapping MCP operations to shell commands, sessions, OAuth, proxying and JSON output.
Maintenance / activity evidence
- Observed (UTC)Pin @napi-rs/keyring to an exact version ( 441)
Tracking evidence observed Oct 5, 2026. These dated signals do not establish current maintenance. Reviewed enrichment confidence: high.
Verification gaps / watch-outs
- Installation and comprehensive security have not been independently audited.
- Depends on connected servers. Writes: Downstream writes; Credential/session management.
- OAuth 2.1 for supported remote servers.
- Sensitive access: MCP credentials, Server-returned data
- A universal client can invoke any connected server's authority; credential storage and proxy scope matter.
Full authority, access and evidence limits are available in Review context and Access & risk.

All limitations / Review context
Which MCP transports and CLI workflows remain supported by mcpc?
The bounded assessment reviewed the official README, repository notices, security policy path, and security page for known material public-tracking blockers. No such blocker was identified. This is a public-tracking assessment, not an installation safety certification.
- A universal client can invoke any connected server's authority; credential storage and proxy scope matter.
- Depends on connected servers.
- OAuth 2.1 for supported remote servers.
- Calls MCP operations and can proxy connections.
- Reviewed write actions: Downstream writes; Credential/session management
- Sensitive access: MCP credentials, Server-returned data
- Installation, client compatibility and comprehensive security have not been independently audited. Authentication and access depend on the configured services.
- A project-specific SECURITY.md policy was not available at the fetched official path; the review remains limited to published repository notices.
- No installation, runtime, client matrix, or complete tool-contract audit was performed in this review.
- The fetched official SECURITY.md path returned HTTP 404; it was not treated as positive evidence.
- It is a client/host rather than a server.
- x402 payments are experimental.

Download / install
Publisher instructionsmcpc is a CLI MCP CLIENT, not a server to register. Install through the publisher npx/npm route, connect to a deliberately trusted MCP server as a named @session, inspect tools and close that session after use.
brew install mcpcmcpc connect mcp.apify.com @testmcpc @test tools-listConfigure application / integrations
Publisher instructionsFor OAuth-enabled servers mcpc login <server> creates a stored auth profile, while mcpc logout <server> deletes that profile. Use a known test MCP endpoint; do not reuse untrusted OAuth or paid x402 targets.
Check connection
Suggested checkAfter mcpc connect <server> @test, run mcpc @test tools-list or other read-only inspection; only call tools after evaluating their effects.
Disconnect / uninstall / revoke
MCP100 setup guideRun `mcpc @test close` to close a session named `@test` (substitute your real session). `mcpc logout <server>` removes the OAuth profile for that server and is separate from session close. This product is an MCP client, not a hosted server.
