# mcp2cli

> A CLI tool that converts MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers into command-line interfaces, enabling direct terminal access to MCP server capabilities.

mcp2cli is an open-source command-line utility that bridges MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers and the terminal, allowing developers to invoke MCP server tools directly from the command line. It translates MCP server capabilities into CLI commands, making it easy to test, debug, and use MCP tools without needing a full AI client. The tool is lightweight, developer-focused, and designed to streamline workflows for those building or consuming MCP-compatible services.

- **MCP-to-CLI conversion**: *Automatically generates CLI commands from any MCP server's tool definitions, enabling direct terminal invocation.*
- **Developer testing**: *Quickly test and debug MCP server tools from the command line without requiring an AI host or client application.*
- **Open-source**: *Freely available on GitHub under an open-source license, welcoming community contributions and forks.*
- **Easy installation**: *Install via pip or directly from the GitHub repository; run against any MCP server by pointing to its configuration.*
- **Lightweight footprint**: *No heavy dependencies or complex setup — just a focused utility for MCP tool access from the terminal.*
