## What is MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard developed by Anthropic for AI models to access external data sources, tools, and services. It provides a universal way for large language models (LLMs) to interact with various resources securely and efficiently.

## Quick Start

### Try with Public Demo Server (No Setup Required)

Test murl immediately with a public MCP server:

```bash
# Install murl
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/turlockmike/murl/master/install.sh | bash
# Or using pip: pip install mcp-curl

# List tools on the public Fetch server
murl https://remote.mcpservers.org/fetch/mcp/tools

# Fetch a webpage and convert to markdown
murl https://remote.mcpservers.org/fetch/mcp/tools/fetch -d url=https://example.com
```

**Public demo servers:**
- Fetch Server: `https://remote.mcpservers.org/fetch/mcp` - Simple server for fetching web content
- DeepWiki: `https://mcp.deepwiki.com/mcp` - GitHub repository documentation

### Quick Local Setup with mcp-proxy

Get started with murl in minutes using a local MCP server:

```bash
# Step 1: Install murl
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/turlockmike/murl/master/install.sh | bash
# Or using pip: pip install mcp-curl

# Step 2: Install mcp-proxy to expose MCP servers over HTTP
pip install mcp-proxy

# Step 3: Start a local time server example (in one terminal)
mcp-proxy --port 3000 uvx mcp-server-time

# Step 4: Test with murl (in another terminal)
# List avai…
