What This Skill Does
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) client that connects to MCP-enabled servers to invoke tools, read resources, and access prompt templates. Available as both a PowerShell script and a Python library.
Handles the MCP HTTP protocol handshake and request formatting so you don't have to write raw REST calls against the spec yourself.
When to use it
- Calling a search tool on a remote MCP server with custom query arguments
- Reading a config file from a server-side file:// resource URI
- Listing all tools exposed by an MCP server before wiring them into an agent
- Using structured prompt templates served by an MCP-enabled service
- Scripting MCP tool calls from a Python automation pipeline
Example Workflow

- 2List available tools to confirm 'search' is exposed
- 3Invoke the 'search' tool with argument {"query": "quantum"}
- 4Receive and return the tool response
OUTPUT
Search results returned by the MCP server's 'search' tool
