Catalog onlyCatalog onlySTDIO

Overview

MCP Grpcurl is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to interact with gRPC services using the grpcurl tool, allowing users to perform various operations on gRPC services.

To use MCP Grpcurl, install the grpcurl tool, set up the MCP server, and run the server to invoke methods, list services, or describe service details.

  • Invoke gRPC methods with custom headers and JSON payloads. - List all available gRPC services on the target server. - Describe gRPC services or message types in detail.
  1. Testing and debugging gRPC services.
  2. Interacting with gRPC APIs in a development environment.
  3. Automating gRPC service interactions in CI/CD pipelines.

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "grpcurl-mcp-wricardo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-grpcurl-mcp-wricardo"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "grpcurl-mcp-wricardo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-grpcurl-mcp-wricardo"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "grpcurl-mcp-wricardo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [

        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-grpcurl-mcp-wricardo"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.

.vscode/mcp.json

{

      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [

        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-grpcurl-mcp-wricardo"
      ]
    }
  }
}
