mcpc provides a robust command-line interface for interacting with Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. It aims to bridge the gap between AI agents and MCP by mapping every MCP operation to an intuitive shell command, thereby enhancing agent reliability and efficiency. Key features include full MCP support for tools, prompts, resources, async tasks, and notifications over stdio and Streamable HTTP. The client offers persistent sessions to maintain connections with multiple servers, progressive tool discovery to optimize token usage, and a 'code mode' for JSON output that seamlessly integrates with shell scripting tools like `jq` and `xargs`. Security is a priority, with full OAuth 2.1 support, including CIMD and DCR, and the use of OS keychains for secure credential storage. For AI sandboxing, mcpc can proxy MCP server connections to safeguard credentials from potentially malicious AI-generated code. The client is lightweight, has minimal dependencies, and is compatible with Mac, Windows, and Linux. It also includes experimental support for agentic payments via the x402 protocol. The motivation behind mcpc is to offer a more effective interface for AI agents, allowing them to leverage the full capabilities of MCP through a single `Bash()` tool call, thus preventing common issues like context saturation and token waste observed in other MCP integrations. This approach positions the CLI as an ideal local interface while MCP serves as the remote standard for server discovery, authentication, and access control.
