How do I use MCP-CLIO?

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@MCP-CLIO restart the dev environment" That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed. Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

Testing with MCP Client

The project includes an mcp.json configuration for local testing. To use it:

Start the server in one terminal:
npm start
In another application (Claude Desktop, etc.), reference this server using the mcp.json configuration:
{ "mcpServers": { "mcp-clio": { "url": "http://localhost:3000/mcp" } } }
