FAQ from MCP Client

What is the purpose of the .env file?

The .env file stores the server path and the allowed directory, as well as optional tool and arguments for testing.

How do I specify a different tool to run?

You can specify a tool using the --tool argument when running the client, for example: python client.py --tool list_directory --args '{"path": "/path/to/directory", "recursive": true}'.

What should I do if the client fails to connect to the server?

Ensure that the server is running and that the SERVER_PATH in the .env file is correct.

How do I verify that the client is working correctly?

Check the client output for the list of available tools and the result of the tool call. Also, verify any side effects of the tool, such as file creation.

What is the default tool if I don't specify one?

If no tool is specified in the .env file, the client will attempt to call the write_file tool to create a test file.
