FAQ from MCP Client

What is the purpose of the .env file?

The .env file stores configuration settings such as the server path and allowed directory, making it easy to configure the client without modifying the code.

How do I specify which tool to use?

You can specify the tool to use by passing the --tool argument followed by the tool name to the client.py script.

How do I pass arguments to the tool?

You can pass arguments to the tool by passing the --args argument followed by a JSON string containing the arguments to the client.py script.

What is the default behavior of the client if no tool is specified?

If no tool is specified, the client will attempt to call the write_file tool to create a file named test.txt in the allowed directory.

How do I verify that the client is working correctly?

After running the client, check the console output for confirmation messages and verify that the expected files have been created or modified on the server.
