Show HN: We built an open source BYOK CLI that supports any model and any MCP
The latest CLI releases from google and anthropic are sweet, we wanted build one that can run any model.
mcp-use-cli lets you `/model` hop between providers instantly.
npm i -g @mcp-use/cli && you're done
What's cool:
- BYOK (your keys, encrypted locally)
- Slash commands for everything
- MCP protocol support for custom tools
- Works with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, Groq, local Ollama...
The whole thing's TypeScript and open source.
Built this on top of our Python + TS mcp-use libs, so it speaks MCP out of the box. You can hook up filesystem tools, DB servers, whatever you want.
The "frontend" is written with "ink" https://github.com/vadimdemedes/ink https://github.com/vadimdemedes/ink that lets you write react for your CLI, it's so cool!
There is soo much nice stuff to do here, here is the roadmap:
- add server from prompt, basically you ask the model to add and configure servers for you
- search MCPs from remote registries so you can pull configs more easily
- auth support (wip)
