How do I install the MCP Codegen skill?

Run npx skillmds@latest add myeolinmalchi/mcp-codegen in your terminal (requires Node.js), paste this page's agent-chat prompt into Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-connected agent, or download the SKILL.md file and copy it into your agent's skills directory.

Is MCP Codegen safe to use?

This skill has not completed SkillMD's automated safety review yet. Capability flags: makes network calls. SkillMD never runs a skill's scripts for you; review the SKILL.md before installing.

Which AI agents work with MCP Codegen?

This skill is tagged as working with Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex. SKILL.md is an open format, so most agents that read a skills directory can load it too.

Is MCP Codegen free to use?

Yes. Installing skills from SkillMD is free, and the skill stays under its author's original license.

MCP Codegen

Generate TypeScript CLI tool code from an MCP server analysis. Use when the user wants to create a CLI tool, generate CLI code, scaffold a CLI project, or design CLI command structure from MCP tools. Triggers on "generate cli", "create cli", "cli code", "scaffold cli", "mcp to typescript".

CLI Code Generation

Generate a TypeScript/npm-based CLI tool from an analyzed MCP server.

Prerequisites

Run mcp-analyze first to get the tool list, parameters, and pattern classification.

Step 1: Design CLI Command Structure

Map MCP tools to CLI commands:

Naming Convention:

Tool prefix groups become subcommands: lol_get_summoner_profile → <cli> lol profile
Single-domain tools become direct commands: parse_document → <cli> parse
Use kebab-case for multi-word commands

Parameter Mapping:

Required MCP params → positional CLI args
Optional MCP params → named flags (--flag value)
Boolean params → boolean flags (--verbose, --no-cache)
Complex objects → JSON string flags or --file references

Output Design:

Default: human-readable formatted text
--json: raw JSON output for piping
Progress/status → stderr, data → stdout

Standard Flags (always include):

--help, --version, --json, --verbose / -v

Step 2: Generate Code

Always generate TypeScript/npm-based CLI tools, regardless of the source MCP server's language.

See references/cli-scaffold.md for the project template, stack, and implementation rules.

Select the appropriate code template from references/tier-1-templates.md or references/tier-2-templates.md based on the pattern classification from mcp-analyze.

If the pattern is Tier 3, see references/tier-3-strategies.md for partial conversion approach.

If the source MCP server is Python, see references/porting-cheatsheet.md for Python → TypeScript translation patterns (httpx → fetch, pydantic → interfaces, asyncio → ESM await, etc.).
