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

Comments

The token savings bit is interesting but seems incomplete without showing that tool call accuracy holds up. I like the CLI-as-interface idea...the model already knows how to use CLIs, and on-demand discovery is genuinely smarter than front-loading every schema. How are you handling cases where a tool's schema changes between discovery and invocation? is there a cache invalidation story there or does it just re-fetch?

There's a default TTL of one hour for how long it caches the spec for.
