MCP Tools

Lite Suite ships with 21 MCP (Model Context Protocol) tools built in. These give AI agents access to your browser, terminal, filesystem, clipboard, and more — all running locally.

What Is MCP?

MCP is an open protocol that lets AI assistants use external tools. Instead of being limited to generating text, MCP gives agents the ability to read files, navigate browsers, run commands, and interact with applications through a standardized interface.

Built-In Tool Categories

Browser Tools (9 tools)

AI agents can navigate, read, click, type, and take screenshots in the embedded browser panel.

| Tool | Description | |------|-------------| | browser_navigate | Navigate to a URL | | browser_read | Read page content | | browser_click | Click an element | | browser_type | Type into a field | | browser_screenshot | Capture the current page | | browser_elements | List interactive elements | | browser_scroll | Scroll the page | | browser_back | Navigate back | | browser_execute_js | Execute JavaScript |

Terminal MCP Tools (5 tools)

AI agents read, write, and control terminal sessions for multi-agent orchestration.

| Tool | Description | |------|-------------| | terminal_list | List all active PTY sessions | | terminal_register | Bind an agent to a terminal session | | terminal_read | Read terminal output (~32KB buffer) | | terminal_write | Send text to a terminal | | terminal_create | Create a new terminal session |

Core Tools (7 tools)

General-purpose tools for filesystem, process, and system access.

| Tool | Description | |------|-------------| | filesystem_read | Read files | | filesystem_write | Write files | | filesystem_search | Search file contents | | process_list | List running processes | | clipboard_read | Read clipboard | | clipboard_write | Write to clipboard | | shell_execute | Execute shell commands |

Agent Bridge REST API

The Agent Bridge (port 7423) provides HTTP access to tools for external scripts and agents:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
  http://localhost:7423/api/shell \
  -d '{"command": "git status"}'

Bearer token authentication protects all endpoints.

Vault MCP Tools

Obsidian vault access is available as a separate MCP server. See Memory System for the full tool list (vault_read, vault_write, vault_search, etc.).

LiteHarness MCP Tools

The agent orchestration system provides additional MCP tools for multi-agent coordination:

| Tool | Description | |------|-------------| | harness_discover | List online agents | | harness_send | Message another agent | | harness_register | Register an agent session | | harness_status | Check agent status | | harness_intervene | Sentinel intervention |

Configuring MCP in Claude Code

To use Lite Suite's MCP tools with Claude Code, add them to your MCP configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "litesuite": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["path/to/litesuite/resources/mcp-server/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

LiteCLI: CLI Access to MCP Tools

LiteCLI connects to any MCP server and auto-generates CLI commands from tool schemas:

litecli lite vault-search --query "project architecture"
litecli lite vault-daily --entry "Finished auth refactor"

See the LiteCLI docs for setup and usage.
