mcp2cli turns MCP sprawl into one CLI

mcp2cli is an open-source runtime CLI that exposes MCP servers and OpenAPI specs as shell commands without code generation. It targets a real pain point in AI coding agents by reducing repeated tool-schema overhead and making large tool surfaces easier to control from terminal workflows.

// ANALYSIS

This is a practical infrastructure play: less prompt bloat, more usable context for actual reasoning.

–The core value is operational, not flashy: dynamic command discovery avoids stuffing huge JSON tool schemas into every turn.
–A shell-first interface gives developers cleaner composability with scripts, pipes, and existing CLI automation.
–Supporting both MCP and OpenAPI in one tool lowers integration friction for mixed agent stacks.
–If the claimed token savings hold in production, this can materially cut costs for long-running agent workflows.
