Features ✨

• Interactive conversations with multipe LLM models
• Support for multiple concurrent MCP servers
• Dynamic tool discovery and integration
• Tool calling capabilities for both model types
• Configurable MCP server locations and arguments
• Consistent command interface across model types
• Configurable message history window for context management
• Monitor/trace error from server side
• Support sampling
• Support Roots

Environment Setup 🔧

1. For Openai and Deepseek:

export OPENAI_API_KEY='your-api-key'

By default for Openai the base_url is "https://api.openai.com/v1" For deepseek it's "https://api.deepseek.com", you can change it by --base-url

2. For Ollama, need setup firstly:

• Install Ollama from https://ollama.ai
• Pull your desired model:

ollama pull mistral

• Ensure Ollama is running:

ollama serve

3. For Azure Openai:

export AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT='your-azure-deployment'
export AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY='your-azure-openai-api-key'
export AZURE_OPENAI_API_VERSION='your-azure-openai-api-version'
export AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT='your-azure-openai-endpoint'

Installation 📦

pip install mcp-cli-host

Configuration ⚙️

MCPCLIHost will automatically find configuration file at ~/.mcp.json. You can also specify a custom location using the --config flag:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sqlite": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-server-sqlite",
        "--db-path",
        "/tmp/foo.db"
      ]
    },
    "filesystem": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem",
        "/tmp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Each MCP server entry requires:

• command: The command to run (e.g., uvx, npx)
• args: Array of arguments for the command:
  • For SQLite server: mcp-server-sqlite with database path
  • For filesystem server: @modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem with directory path

Usage 🚀

MCPCLIHost is a CLI tool that allows you to interact with various AI models through a unified interface. It supports various tools through MCP servers.
