cli2mcp

Overview

cli2mcp is a Model Context Protocol server that transforms any command-line tool into an MCP-compatible resource. It automatically infers schemas from command help text, letting AI assistants invoke your CLI tools as native functions without manual configuration.

The server runs locally on your machine via npx -y cli2mcp, speaking MCP over stdio. No authentication or external services required—it works immediately after installation. The latest release is v0.1.4 under MIT license, developed at RonieNeubauer/cli2mcp on GitHub.

Listed in the AI & Agents category, cli2mcp integrates with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, and other MCP clients. If you maintain this project, claim your listing here to verify ownership and keep it up to date.
