MCP.Pizza Chef: RussellLuo

cmcp is a command-line client designed to interact with MCP servers using JSON-RPC over STDIO or SSE. It functions like a curl tool for MCP, enabling developers to send commands, methods, parameters, environment variables, and headers easily. cmcp supports verbose mode for debugging and simplifies communication with MCP servers in development and automation workflows.
