IT Tools

You can access a comprehensive MCP server that exposes a large suite of IT tools and utilities. It lets you encode, decode, manipulate text, perform hashing, run network checks, and much more, all through a consistent MCP client interface. This makes it easy to automate common IT and development tasks from a single endpoint.

How to use

Connect to the MCP server from your MCP client and invoke any of the available tools by name. Use the client’s standard tool-calling workflow to request actions such as encoding text, generating identifiers, performing JSON operations, or running network checks. Tools can report progress for long-running tasks and you can cancel in-progress requests if needed. The server also supports logging controls so you can adjust verbosity at runtime.

How to install

Prerequisites: you need Node.js and/or Docker installed on your machine. You will run either the Node-based npx approach or a Docker container to start the MCP server.

Option 1: Run via NPX (Node.js runtime) using your MCP client configuration that points to an npx-based server.

# Start the MCP server via NPX (example usage shown in the client configuration)
npx it-tools-mcp

Additional setup notes

If you prefer to run the server in a container, you can start a Docker container with the provided image. This approach isolates the MCP server and its dependencies from your host system.

# Run the MCP server in interactive Docker mode
docker run -it --rm wrenchpilot/it-tools-mcp:latest
