alt Hacker NewsHehe... nice one. I think we are all thinking the same thing.

The unix way is the best way.

TL;DR CLIHUB compiles MCP servers into portable, self-contained binaries — think of it like a compiler. Best for distribution, CI, and environments where you can't run a daemon.
mcpshim is a runtime bridge — think of it like a local proxy. Best for developers juggling many MCP servers locally, especially when paired with LLM agents that benefit from persistent connections and lightweight aliases.

Pretty sure I saw this one a couple of weeks back, or something very similar to it..
https://github.com/philschmid/mcp-cli
Edit: Turns out was https://github.com/steipete/mcporter noted elsewhere in the thread, but mcp-cli looks like a very similar thing.
