Usage

CLI Testing

This will start the server and let you interact with it through the CLI.

Inspect with MCP Inspector

Inspect the server using the MCP Inspector web UI:

npm run inspect

Start as SSE Server

Start the server with SSE support for integrating with other applications:

TRANSPORT_TYPE=sse PORT=8080 npm start

Wait Tool

The server provides a simple `wait` tool that accepts a `seconds` parameter:

• `seconds`: The number of seconds to wait (0-30000)

Example:

{
  "seconds": 5
}

This will wait for 5 seconds and report progress during the wait.
