Generate CLI Wrapper Code
This skill generates complete, production-ready CLI wrapper code for MCP servers.
When This Skill Activates
Use this skill when:
- •User wants to create a CLI wrapper for an MCP server
- •User requests wrapper code generation
- •User needs a Python or TypeScript wrapper
- •User asks to wrap MCP tools in a CLI
- •User wants to follow progressive disclosure patterns
What This Skill Does
- •Reads MCP server analysis or configuration
- •Selects appropriate template (Python/TypeScript)
- •Generates complete wrapper code with:
- •PEP 723 header (Python) or package.json (TypeScript)
- •4-level progressive disclosure help system
- •Function routing and argument parsing
- •Detail level enum support
- •Error handling and validation
- •Output format options (json|text|table)
- •Creates FUNCTION_INFO and FUNCTION_EXAMPLES
- •Tests basic functionality
- •Validates code syntax
Usage
code
User: "Generate a Python wrapper for the github MCP" User: "Create a CLI tool for the firecrawl server" User: "Generate TypeScript wrapper for my calendar API"
Arguments
The skill accepts:
- •MCP server name (required)
- •Language preference (python|typescript)
- •Output path (optional)
- •Template style (standard|fastmcp|sdk)
Output
Generates a complete CLI wrapper file:
python
#!/usr/bin/env -S uv run # /// script # requires-python = ">=3.8" # dependencies = ["click", "httpx", "rich", "python-dotenv"] # /// # Complete implementation with: # - 4-level progressive disclosure # - All tool functions # - Detail level support # - Error handling # - Output formatting
Example Output
For GitHub MCP:
bash
# Generated file: github-cli.py # Test it uv run github-cli.py --help # Level 1: Quick help uv run github-cli.py list # Level 2: Function list uv run github-cli.py info create_issue # Level 2: Function details uv run github-cli.py example create_issue # Level 3: Examples uv run github-cli.py create_issue --help # Level 4: Complete reference # Use it uv run github-cli.py list_issues --repo=owner/repo uv run github-cli.py create_issue --title="Bug" --body="Description"

Quality Assurance
Generated code is validated for:
- •Correct PEP 723 header syntax
- •All dependencies listed
- •Executable shebang
- •4-level help completeness
- •Function routing correctness
- •Error handling coverage
- •Output format support
- •Syntax correctness
Agent Context
This skill runs in a forked context using the wrapper-generator agent, which specializes in:
- •Code generation from templates
- •Progressive disclosure implementation
- •CLI framework usage (Click, argparse)
- •MCP client integration
- •Following established patterns from ~/cli-wrappers/
