mcp-client-cli

Why we included this project

mcp-client-cli is a terminal tool for people who want to talk to an LLM without opening a browser or a desktop chat app. You point it at any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, so hosted providers like OpenAI or Groq work, and so does a local llama.cpp server. It's an MCP client, which means you can wire up MCP servers for web search, fetching pages, or other tools and let the model call them mid-conversation. The config also lets you mark specific tools as requiring confirmation before they run, so you get the convenience of tool use without handing the model free rein. For anyone who lives in the terminal, it's a lightweight way to get MCP tool access in a single command.
