Use any MCP server or HTTP API as a standard CLI command.
Website · Documentation · Skills
MCPShim is a lightweight daemon + CLI that turns remote MCP tools and configured HTTP APIs into native shell commands your agent or script can call directly.
One daemon centralizes service registration, auth flows, discovery, call execution, and history. Your agent invokes tools as standard CLI commands - no SDKs, no libraries, just shell.
