mcp2cli is a Python CLI tool that turns any MCP server, OpenAPI spec, or GraphQL endpoint into a command-line interface at runtime with zero code generation. It reduces token waste in AI agent workflows and supports OAuth authentication across all modes.

Use cases

• interact with an mcp server from the command line
• call openapi endpoints without writing client code
• query graphql apis via cli
• reduce token usage when ai agents call tools
• generate agent skills from api specs
• authenticate to oauth-protected apis from the terminal

When to choose

• you want to call MCP, OpenAPI, or GraphQL APIs from the shell without codegen
• you're building AI agent workflows and want to cut tool-schema token overhead
• you need OAuth support (PKCE or client credentials) for CLI API access

When to avoid

• you need a fully typed, compiled SDK for a specific API
• you only work with APIs that have no MCP/OpenAPI/GraphQL interface
• you need a GUI or interactive API explorer rather than a CLI
