Comment on Show HN: Mcp2cli – One CLI for every API, 96-99% fewer tokens than native MCP

Comments

Tokens saved should not be your north star metric. You should be able to show that tool call performance is maintained while consuming fewer tokens. I have no idea whether that is the case here.

As an aside: this is a cool idea but the prose in the readme and the above post seem to be fully generated, so who knows whether it is actually true.

The AI prose is getting so tiring to read

"We measured this. Not estimates — actual token counts using the cl100k_base tokenizer against real schemas, verified by an automated test suite."
