kmcp run command

Run an MCP server on your local machine by using the Model Context Protocol inspector tool.

Note: If you do not have the MCP inspector tool installed, run npm install -g @modelcontextprotocol/inspector.

kmcp run [flags]

Flags:

• -h, --help - Help for the command
• --no-inspector - Run the server directly without launching the MCP inspector tool
• --project-dir, -d - Project directory to use (default: current directory)

Global Flags:

• --verbose, -v - Show detailed output

Example

The following command runs the MCP server that is defined in the my-mcp-server project on your local machine. The command automatically builds the Docker image for your MCP server and opens the MCP inspector tool so that you can connect to your server.

kmcp run --project-dir my-mcp-server
