Convert Click/typer CLI to MCP server

This tool automatically wraps CLI applications built with Click or Typer as Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers.

Convert Click/Typer CLI to MCP Server

This tool streamlines the process of exposing command-line interface (CLI) applications as Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. By leveraging the power of Python's popular Click and Typer libraries, developers can quickly transform existing CLI tools into accessible network services. This is particularly useful for integrating CLI functionalities into larger AI systems or for providing remote access to specialized command-line utilities. The tool automates the boilerplate code required to set up an MCP server, allowing developers to focus on their core application logic.

What it Does

The click-to-mcp tool takes a Python application built using either the Click or Typer framework and automatically generates the necessary code to run it as an MCP server. It analyzes the CLI commands, arguments, and options defined in your application and maps them to corresponding MCP server endpoints. This means your CLI commands become callable functions accessible over the network, enabling seamless integration with other services or agents that communicate via the MCP protocol.

Key Features

Automatic MCP Server Generation: Converts Click/Typer CLIs into functional MCP servers with minimal configuration.
Supports Click and Typer: Compatible with two of the most widely used Python CLI frameworks.
Simplified Integration: Reduces the complexity of exposing CLI tools as network services.
Direct GitHub Source: Open-source and readily available for inspection and contribution on GitHub.

Who it's For

This tool is designed for AI developers, software engineers, and system architects who need to integrate existing CLI tools into AI workflows or build distributed AI systems. If you have a Python CLI application that you want to make accessible remotely, or if you are building agents that require interaction with command-line utilities, click-to-mcp can significantly accelerate your development process. It's ideal for scenarios where a CLI tool needs to be controlled or queried by other services, agents, or even human operators through a standardized protocol like MCP.
