Turn any MCP, OpenAPI, or GraphQL server into a CLI — at runtime, with zero codegen
mcp2cli is a Python command-line tool that converts MCP servers, OpenAPI specs, and GraphQL endpoints into callable CLI commands at runtime, without generating any code. It supports three connection modes: HTTP/SSE or stdio for MCP servers, local or remote OpenAPI specs in JSON or YAML, and GraphQL endpoints via introspection. It integrates directly with Claude Code through an installable skill (via skills.sh), letting the agent discover and invoke tools from any supported API type. A standout feature is token efficiency: by exposing API tools as CLI subcommands rather than feeding full schema definitions to the model on every turn, the project claims a 96 to 99 percent reduction in tokens consumed by tool schemas. OAuth handling covers both browser-based PKCE flows and machine-to-machine client credentials, with tokens cached in ~/.cache/mcp2cli/oauth/. A bake mode lets users persist connection settings and auth flags into named configurations, avoiding repetitive flags. Developers building or testing agents that interact with external APIs are the primary audience.
