}List available tools
After connecting to the SSE endpoint, list the exposed tools:
tools/list
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 1,
"method": "tools/list"
}Call this tool
Invoke the tool by its id, passing arguments built from its parameters:
tools/call
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 2,
"method": "tools/call",
"params": {
"name": "carbon-footprint-calculator",
"arguments": {
"diet": "medium-meat",
"electricityKwh": 2000,
"gridIntensity": "0.44",
"naturalGasM3": 300,
"gasolineL": 600,
"dieselL": 0,
"flightShortKm": 0,
"flightLongKm": 10000,
"transitKm": 3000,
"wasteKg": 200
}
}
}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).
