What's Good
MIT (knowsuchagency/mcp2cli; PyPI mcp2cli). `--mcp` / `--spec` / `--graphql` discover tools and expose them as CLI subcommands. OAuth/PKCE and auth headers across modes. Aimed at agents that shell out instead of stuffing full MCP schemas into every turn.
The Catch
Vs SuperGateway / mcp-remote (transport bridges) and MCP Inspector (debug UI): mcp2cli is a runtime CLI façade for APIs/MCP, not a gateway product and not an inspector. GraphQL mode needs introspection. You still trust whatever endpoint you point it at.
Verdict
MIT MCP/OpenAPI/GraphQL CLI wrapper. Shell tools without shipping schemas every turn.
