About CLI
CLI is an MCP server published by romeoscript in the Developer Tools category: this CLI scaffolds a fully working MCP server in seconds — with TypeScript or JavaScript, built-in tools, resources, and dev commands. Think of it as CRA, but for MCP servers.
The repository has 106 stars and 1 forks, with the last commit 11 months ago. Six months or more without a commit doesn't mean the server is broken, but check the open issues before depending on it in production.
Install
git clone https://github.com/romeoscript/MCP_CLIThis server has no ConduID identity, so agent calls to it are not receipted. Pin the version you install and review the source before granting it credentials.
