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

Comments

Absoultely.

I'll add to your comment that it isn't a bug of MCP itself. MCP doesn't specify what the LLM sees. It's a bug of the MCP client.

In my toy chatbot, I implement MCP as pseudo-python for the LLM, dropping typing info, and giving the tool infos as abruptly as possible, just a line - function_name(mandatory arg1 name, mandatory arg2 name): Description

(I don't recommend doing that, it's largely obsolete, my point is simply that you feed the LLM whatever you want, MCP doesn't mandate anything. tbh it doesn't even mandate that it feeds into a LLM, hence the MCP CLIs)
