Feature Request
Description
Add support for discovering and testing MCP (Model Context Protocol) server endpoints. As MCP becomes the standard for AI agent tool access, developers need ways to test MCP servers just like they test REST APIs.
Proposed Feature
HTTPie could support:
http mcp://server-name/tool-name syntax for calling MCP tools
- Auto-discovery of available tools from MCP servers
- JSON-RPC formatting for MCP requests
Example
Testing an MCP server like ToolPipe (238+ developer tools):
# Current: manual JSON-RPC
http POST https://toolpipe.dev/mcp jsonrpc=2.0 method=tools/call params:='{"name":"json_format","arguments":{"json":"{\"a\":1}"}}'
# Proposed: native MCP support
http mcp toolpipe json_format json='{"a":1}'
Why
MCP has 8M+ npm downloads. As more services expose MCP interfaces, developers need proper testing tools.
