Tools — CLI & MCP

Tools I like but don't load by default. Add here for reference when setting up a new project or environment.

MCP Tools

A CLI for interacting with MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers via stdio and HTTP transport.

Repo: https://github.com/f/mcptools
Language: Go | License: MIT
Install: go install github.com/f/mcptools/cmd/mcp@latest
Why useful: Lets you call, list, and test MCP server tools directly from the terminal — great for debugging MCP integrations without needing a full editor setup.

CLI + MCP server that connects AI assistants to Microsoft 365 Copilot data (emails, meetings, documents, Teams messages, people).

Docs: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365-copilot/extensibility/workiq-overview
Repo: https://github.com/microsoft/work-iq-mcp
Install: npm install -g @microsoft/workiq
Requires: Microsoft 365 subscription with Copilot license + admin consent in Entra tenant
Key commands:
- workiq accept-eula — accept EULA (required on first use)
- workiq ask [-q "<question>"] — query M365 data; omit -q for interactive mode; use -t <tenant-id> for a specific tenant
- workiq mcp — start as MCP server for VS Code / Copilot CLI
Why useful: Lets agents query workplace context (meetings, emails, docs) directly — no browser needed.

Tools listed here are not auto-loaded — load them manually when needed.
When adding a tool, include: repo link, install command, and a one-liner on why it's useful.
