MCP Client CLI
Supports UIby adhikasp
A terminal-based MCP client allowing you to run LLM prompts with any MCP-compatible server from your command line.
What it does
This project provides a lightweight command-line interface that acts as an alternative to Claude Desktop. It allows users to interact with any MCP-compatible server directly from the terminal, leveraging various LLM providers including OpenAI, Groq, and local models via llama.cpp.
Tools
- Prompt Execution: Run natural language queries that can trigger MCP server tools.
- Image Analysis: Pipe image files directly into the CLI for multimodal LLM processing.
- Prompt Templates: Use predefined templates for common tasks like git review or commit message generation.
- Clipboard Integration: Seamlessly process text and images from the system clipboard.
Installation
Install via pip:
pip install mcp-client-cli
Configure your servers in ~/.llm/config.json using the standard MCP server configuration format.
