mcp-cli
Lighweight CLI to interact with MCP servers
...The Model Context Protocol is an emerging open standard for connecting language models and external tools, and mcp-cli helps mitigate common pain points like context window bloat by dynamically discovering MCP servers and reducing token load during interactions. It’s designed to be fast and shell-friendly, compiling to a single standalone binary and producing machine-readable output (e.g., JSON) that plays well with other CLI tooling like jq and standard piping. mcp-cli supports both stdio and HTTP-based MCP servers, connection pooling with a lazy-spawn daemon to keep connections warm, and flexible tool filtering via easy configuration options.
