README

mcpinspect

A tool to inspect MCP servers.

While configuring Claude Code commands, I noticed there was no easy way to specify allowed MCP tools for the project command, this tool makes it easy to list configured MCP servers.

Warning: Be careful when allowing MCP tools that perform actions (create, update, delete). Review tool descriptions before granting access.
