chimera mcp

Configure MCP servers (persisted to .chimera/mcp.json). Terminal-first source of truth.

Subcommands

chimera mcp add

Add (or replace-by-name) an MCP server. Persists to .chimera/mcp.json — no connect.

Arguments

NAMEstrrequired
A unique name for the server (namespaces its tools).

Options

--command, -cstrrequired
The launch command (e.g. npx, uvx, python).
--arg, -astr
A command argument (repeatable).
--env, -estr
An env var as K=V (repeatable).

chimera mcp list

List configured MCP servers (name, command + args, env key names). No connect.

Options

This command takes no options.

chimera mcp remove

Remove a configured MCP server by name.

Arguments

NAMEstrrequired
The server name to remove.

Options

This command takes no options.

chimera mcp test

Live-connect a configured server and print the tools it exposes (or a clear error). This is the ONLY MCP subcommand that connects (spawns the server + runs the async handshake). It is the sole honest proof a server is reachable. Needs the 'mcp' extra and the server's own runtime (e.g. Node for an npx server).

Arguments

NAMEstrrequired
The configured server to live-test.

Options

--timeoutfloatdefault: 12.0
Connect timeout in seconds.
