MCP CLI

A command-line interface for creating and running Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers.

Overview

MCP CLI is a tool that makes it easy to create and run MCP servers that can expose resources, tools, and prompts to LLM clients. It's built with NestJS and Commander.js, and uses the official MCP TypeScript SDK.
