Mcp Cli Scripts

This is a pattern library for building CLI companions alongside your MCP servers. The idea is simple: when you create an MCP server, you also write CLI scripts that expose the same functionality (and sometimes more) so Claude Code can use them directly in terminal environments. It's production ready and uses tsx as a dev dependency. The approach makes sense if you're already invested in MCP tooling but want your capabilities accessible through both server protocols and direct command line execution. With 317 installs and passing security audits, it's a practical reference for structuring dual-interface tools rather than picking one approach over the other.
