Sherweb: MCP server, CLI and agent surfaces
Sign-in required, tools not seen, not counted. The MCP endpoint listed for Sherweb at mcp.sherweb.com answered 401 with OAuth metadata on 4 November 2026. Its tools can be listed only after a person authorizes a client, and this directory never signs in.

The endpoint answered the handshake with a sign-in challenge, so the tool list is not visible to this directory. It is not counted as an MCP server: a sign-in challenge is its own state, and the connector listed no tools.

The sign-in route, step by step
- Request
https://mcp.sherweb.comwithout a token. It answers 401 and aWWW-Authenticateheader. - Read the OAuth metadata at
https://cumulus.sherweb.com/oidc/.well-known/openid-configuration. It lists no registration endpoint. - Register the client by hand in the company's developer settings, or present a client ID metadata document if the authorization server supports one.
- Authorize as a person, then retry the endpoint with the bearer token. The connector stops after step 2.
See OAuth for MCP: client ID metadata documents and dynamic registration for how each route works.
CLI
No CLI is on record for Sherweb. The directory checks a package only where a source names one, so this is a floor: a company can ship a command line that no source read for this edition mentions. See shipping a CLI agents can use.
