What it does

Acts as a lightweight daemon and CLI proxy that converts remote MCP tools into native shell commands. It centralizes session management, authentication, and discovery, allowing agents to call tools as standard CLI commands instead of managing complex transport layers.

Tools

servers: List all registered MCP servers.
tools: List tools available across servers.
call: Execute a specific tool on a registered server via shell arguments.
inspect: View the schema and details of a specific tool.
history: Retrieve persisted call history from the local SQLite DB.

Installation

go install github.com/mcpshim/mcpshim/cmd/mcpshimd@latest
go install github.com/mcpshim/mcpshim/cmd/mcpshim@latest
