OpenCliToMcp.Core

Core library for creating MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers from OpenCLI tool definitions.

Overview

OpenCliToMcp.Core provides the foundational components needed to execute CLI tools and convert their outputs into MCP-compatible responses. It includes:

  • CLI Executors: Base classes and interfaces for executing command-line tools
  • Process Management: Robust process execution with timeout and error handling
  • Response Formatting: Flexible response formatting (JSON, plain text, structured data)
  • Configuration: Options pattern for configuring CLI execution behavior

Installation

dotnet add package OpenCliToMcp.Core

Basic Usage

using OpenCliToMcp.Core;

// Create a simple CLI executor
var executor = new SimplifiedCliExecutor(new SimplifiedCliExecutorOptions
{
    ExecutablePath = "git",
    ResponseFormat = ResponseFormat.Json
});

// Execute a command
var response = await executor.ExecuteAsync(new[] { "status", "--porcelain" });
Console.WriteLine(response.Content);

Key Components

ICliExecutor

The main interface for executing CLI commands:

public interface ICliExecutor
{
    Task<CliResponse> ExecuteAsync(string[] arguments, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);
}

CliExecutorBase

Abstract base class providing common CLI execution functionality with built-in logging and error handling.

ConfigurableCliExecutor

Advanced executor with configurable executable resolution, custom process options, and response formatting.

Response Formats

  • Json: Structured JSON output
  • PlainText: Raw text output
  • Auto: Automatic format detection

Advanced Features

Custom Process Execution

var executor = new ConfigurableCliExecutor(
    executableResolver,
    processExecutor,
    responseFormatter,
    logger);

Executable Resolution

Automatically find executables using glob patterns:

var resolver = new GlobbingExecutableResolver(new GlobbingExecutableResolverOptions
{
    SearchPattern = "**/bin/my-tool.exe"
});
