A command-line tool and bridge for discovering and calling Model Context Protocol servers. It combines servers behind one standard input/output connection and can show compact tool lists and compressed results.

Use it to list available tools, inspect a tool's schema, call a tool by name, or connect several configured servers to an MCP client.

It reduces the setup needed when an agent uses multiple tool servers and can limit how much tool schema and output enters the agent's context. The input does not describe other kinds of automation.

mcptoon — Plugin for Gemini CLI by activeing123

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/activeing123/mcptoon

Made for: Gemini CLI.

Security

Grade A, and why

mcptoon scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

The scan reads gemini-extension.json. This mod also ships 13 executable files (scripts/bench_skills.py, scripts/bench_tokens.py, scripts/build_portable_zip.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What ships with it

60 files beside gemini-extension.json in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
