mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "elysiatools-ecological-footprint": {
      "name": "ecological-footprint",
      "description": "Balance per-capita consumption categories against biocapacity: Earths demanded, surplus/deficit, and Earth Overshoot Day.",
      "baseUrl": "https://api.elysiatools.com/mcp/sse?toolId=ecological-footprint",

Invoke the tool by its id, passing arguments built from its parameters:

tools/call
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 2,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "ecological-footprint",
    "arguments": {
  "food": 0.9,
  "housing": 0.7,
  "mobility": 0.5,
  "goods": 0.3,
  "services": 0.2,
  "population": 8000000000,
  "biocapacity": 12000000000,
  "reservePct": 0
}
  }
}
Chain multiple tools in one session with a comma-separated toolId list, e.g. /mcp/sse?toolId=png-to-webp,jpg-to-webp,gif-to-webp (max 20).
