mcporter: Elegant MCP from the CLI

The command-line tool mcporter, first published in 2025, lets developers list and call Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools directly from the CLI with no setup, as shown by example commands against the Context7 MCP server at mcp.context7.com. The tool's `list` command with a `--brief` flag enumerates available MCP tools, while the `call` command invokes a named tool such as `resolve-library-id` with inline arguments like query and libraryName. The post presents mcporter as an established utility for working with MCP servers without additional configuration.
