pi-mcporter

Use MCP tools from pi through one stable tool (mcporter), powered by MCPorter.

• pi is fundamentally CLI-first.
• Prefer native CLIs whenever available (gh, git, kubectl, aws, etc.).
• Use MCP via mcporter when it adds clear value (for example: Linear, Slack, hosted auth-heavy integrations, cross-tool workflows).
• This package is intentionally a thin bridge, not a replacement for pi’s normal tool-driven workflow.

• Keeps context small: one stable mcporter tool instead of exposing many MCP tools
• Uses your MCPorter config/runtime as source of truth
• Supports discovery (search), schema help (describe), and execution (call)
• Returns useful error hints for auth/offline/http/stdio failures

You need MCPorter installed and configured with at least one MCP server:

npm install -g mcporter
npx mcporter list          # verify your servers are visible

Install as a pi package:

pi install npm:pi-mcporter

Try it once without installing:

pi -e npm:pi-mcporter

1. Confirm MCPorter sees your servers:

npx mcporter list

1. Start pi:

pi

1. Ask for what you need — pi picks the right MCP tools automatically:

• What are my open Linear issues this sprint?
• Catch me up on #engineering in Slack from today.
• Find the onboarding runbook in Notion and summarize the setup steps.
