MCPJungle ships as a standalone binary that acts as both the gateway server and the CLI client. Install it on your local machine to use the CLI, or pull the Docker image to run the gateway server.
Homebrew is the recommended installation method on macOS and Linux.
brew install mcpjungle/mcpjungle/mcpjungle
On macOS, you must use Homebrew. The pre-built binary available on the Releases page is not notarized yet, so macOS will block it from running.
Verify the installation:
mcpjungle version

​
After installation

Once the CLI is installed, connect it to a running MCPJungle server. By default, the CLI connects to http://127.0.0.1:8080. If your server is running elsewhere, set the registry URL in your config file: 
# ~/.mcpjungle.conf
registry_url: http://my-server:8080
Or pass it per command using the --registry flag: 
mcpjungle --registry http://my-server:8080 list tools
