Overview

What is Grpc Invoke Mcp?

Grpc Invoke Mcp is an MCP server that lets AI agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, etc.) inspect gRPC APIs and invoke unary RPCs. It supports either server reflection or local .proto files, enabling agents to explore services, understand schemas, and make real gRPC calls without writing one-off scripts.

How to use Grpc Invoke Mcp?

Install and run with npx -y @grulex/grpc-invoke-mcp@latest. Then add it as a stdio MCP server in your agent’s configuration file (e.g., .mcp.json for Claude Code, .codex/config.toml for Codex, or .cursor/mcp.json for Cursor). The package downloads a platform-specific binary during installation.
