porter mcp

porter mcp

Start an MCP server over stdio

Synopsis

Start a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes Porter operations as tools for LLM agents.

The server communicates over stdin/stdout using the MCP protocol. Read-only tools are always available. Mutating tools (install, upgrade, uninstall, invoke) require the –allow-write flag.

Configure your MCP client (e.g. Claude Desktop) with: {“command”: “porter”, “args”: [“mcp”]}

porter mcp [flags]

Options

      --allow-write   Enable mutating tools: install, upgrade, uninstall, invoke
  -h, --help          help for mcp

Options inherited from parent commands

      --context string         Name of the configuration context to use. When unset, Porter uses the current-context from the config file, falling back to the context named "default".
      --experimental strings   Comma separated list of experimental features to enable. See https://porter.sh/configuration/#experimental-feature-flags for available feature flags.
      --verbosity string       Threshold for printing messages to the console. Available values are: debug, info, warning, error. (default "info")
