Burnish — Swagger UI for MCP

Explorer-first MCP client. Point it at any MCP server and get an interactive UI — no LLM, no tool-calling loop, no chat window. Just your tools, rendered as the right component for the shape of their output.

Install & run

# Against any MCP server
npx burnish -- npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem /tmp

# Against the showcase example server (34 tools, every rendering path)
npx burnish -- npx -y @burnishdev/example-server

# Against a remote SSE server
npx burnish --sse https://your-server.example.com/sse
