What it does

A Bun-based CLI that connects to remote MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers so agents and humans can list tools, call tool endpoints, read resources, and render prompts from the terminal. It supports interactive and scripted modes, OAuth with PKCE, ngrok tunnelling for non-local redirect flows, profiles, pagination, and JSON output for piping and automation.

When to use it

Use this skill when you need terminal-based access to MCP servers: connecting and saving connections, listing available tools/resources/prompts, calling tools interactively or via --args for scripting, debugging auth flows (use --no-open to capture auth URLs), or integrating MCP calls into shell scripts and CI.

What's included

Scripts: none detected in the repo snapshot, but the SKILL.md contains detailed CLI usage and examples.
References: none listed.
Instructions: covers install (bun), auth flow guidance for agents (always use --no-open), connection/profile management, commands for listing and calling tools/resources/prompts, pagination and JSON output, ngrok usage, and dev/run instructions.

Compatible agents

Best for agents and tooling that can run shell commands and handle JSON output (Copilot/Codex-style agents, CLI-based workflows, and local/autonomous agents that can spawn processes).

Audit Summary

mcp-to-cli is a Bun-based CLI client for connecting to MCP servers and invoking tools/resources/prompts from the terminal. No bundled scripts to execute. SKILL.md is well-structured with clear installation, quick start, command reference, auth docs, and example workflows. Clean security profile — no hardcoded secrets, no destructive commands, no exfiltration risk.

Watch Out

Requires Bun 1.3+ runtime
NGROK_AUTHTOKEN env var needed for ngrok-tunneled OAuth flows

Notes

Purely instructional skill for a CLI tool — no scripts to audit. Documentation quality is above average. Smithery URL shortcuts default could surprise users who pass bare names.
