Context A8c Mcporter

Context A8C via mcporter

Access Automattic work context using mcporter CLI.

Discovery

First, discover available providers and their descriptions:

mcporter list context-a8c

This returns the full tool schema including:

• Available providers (in the provider enum)
• What each provider does (in the description)
• Required and optional parameters

Read this output carefully - it tells you exactly which providers exist and when to use each one.

Two-Step Pattern

Context-a8c uses a load-then-execute pattern:

Step 1: Load Provider

mcporter call context-a8c.context-a8c-load-provider provider=<provider>

This returns the available tools for that provider and their parameters.

Step 2: Execute Tool

mcporter call 'context-a8c.context-a8c-execute-tool(provider: "linear", tool: "issue", params: {"id":"SQUARE-215"})'

Params are optional; omit params entirely for tools without arguments:

mcporter call 'context-a8c.context-a8c-execute-tool(provider: "linear", tool: "me")'

The params argument must be an object (not a JSON string). Wrap the whole call in single quotes to avoid shell parsing issues.

Workflow

1. Run mcporter list context-a8c to see available providers
2. Load the relevant provider to discover its tools
3. Execute the specific tool with appropriate params
4. Parse JSON results

End-to-End Example (Linear Issue)

mcporter list context-a8c
mcporter call context-a8c.context-a8c-load-provider provider=linear
mcporter call 'context-a8c.context-a8c-execute-tool(provider: "linear", tool: "issue", params: {"id":"SQUARE-215"})'

Common Errors

• tool is a required property of input → include tool: "<tool>" in the execute call.
• provider is a required property of input → include provider: "<provider>" in the execute call.
• input[params] is not of type object → pass an object, not a quoted JSON string.

Notes

• Always load a provider first to see exact tool names and parameters
• The params argument must be valid JSON when provided
• Auth is handled automatically; if it fails, direct user to /ai/context-a8c on Matticspace
