mcp-client-cli
A simple CLI program to run LLM prompts and implement the Model Context Protocol (MCP) client.
This CLI tool allows users to interact with any MCP-compatible servers directly from their terminal, providing a convenient alternative to existing clients like Claude Desktop. Users can leverage various LLM providers, including OpenAI and local models, to enhance their workflow and productivity. The MCP client is designed to be easily configurable, allowing users to set up their preferred LLM and MCP servers through a straightforward JSON configuration file. This flexibility enables a wide range of applications, from fetching data to performing complex AI tasks, all while ensuring a seamless user experience.
