explicit
Load only tools explicitly listed in --tool options, ignoring include filters. --exclude-tag still applies as a deny filter.
How to use it
explicit is exposed by the MCP Openapi Server MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), and the explicit tool becomes available to the model automatically. See the full listing for setup details and every tool this server provides.
