Overview

MCP CLI is a command-line interface for interacting with Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. It enables communication with Large Language Models (LLMs) through integration with the CHUK Tool Processor and CHUK-LLM, providing tool usage, conversation management, and multiple operational modes. The client defaults to using Ollama with the gpt-oss reasoning model for local, privacy-focused operation without requiring API keys. It offers features such as AI virtual memory, execution plans, and multimodal page fault.

Q&A

How does the Execution Plans feature work for complex tool workflows?

Using the /plan command you can create, inspect, run, and manage reproducible tool call graphs; steps can run in parallel via topological batching, and the LLM can also auto‑generate plans without explicit commands.

Can MCP CLI handle multimodal data such as images?

Yes. The multimodal page_fault feature returns both text and image URLs for recalled image pages, and the /memory page command can export the content with appropriate extensions like .png.

What is the AI Virtual Memory feature and how does it affect conversation context?

AI Virtual Memory lets the client manage conversation context like an OS virtual memory system, evicting older tokens when a configurable budget is exceeded; you can view its state with the /memory command.

Asked by Kenji Watanabe · Aug 14, 2025

Do I need an API key to use MCP CLI with LLMs?

No. By default MCP CLI uses Ollama with the local gpt‑oss reasoning model, allowing privacy‑focused operation without any API keys.
