AI CLI MCP Server

🇯🇵 日本語のREADMEはこちら

📦 Package Migration Notice: This package was formerly @mkxultra/claude-code-mcp and has been renamed to ai-cli-mcp to reflect its expanded support for multiple AI CLI tools.

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that allows running AI CLI tools (Claude, Codex, Gemini, Forge, and OpenCode) in background processes with automatic permission handling.

Did you notice that Cursor sometimes struggles with complex, multi-step edits or operations? This server, with its powerful unified run tool, enables multiple AI agents to handle your coding tasks more effectively.

Demo

Overview

This MCP server provides tools that can be used by LLMs to interact with AI CLI tools. When integrated with MCP clients, it allows LLMs to:

• Run Claude CLI with all permissions bypassed (using --dangerously-skip-permissions)
• Execute Codex CLI with approvals and sandbox bypassed (using --dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox)
• Execute Gemini CLI with automatic approval mode (using -y)
• Execute Forge CLI in non-interactive mode (using forge -C <workFolder> -p <prompt>)
• Execute OpenCode in non-interactive JSON mode (using opencode run --format json --dir <workFolder> <prompt>)
• Support multiple AI models: Claude (sonnet, sonnet[1m], opus, opusplan, haiku), Codex (gpt-5.4, gpt-5.5, gpt-5.4-mini, gpt-5.3-codex, gpt-5.3-codex-spark, gpt-5.2), Gemini (gemini-2.5-pro, gemini-2.5-flash, gemini-3.1-pro-preview, gemini-3-pro-preview, gemini-3-flash-preview), Forge (forge), and OpenCode (opencode plus explicit oc-<provider/model> wrappers such as oc-openai/gpt-5.4)
• Manage background processes with PID tracking
• Parse and return structured outputs from both tools

Usage Example (Advanced Parallel Processing)

You can instruct your main agent to run multiple tasks in parallel like this:

Launch agents for the following 3 tasks using acm mcp run:

1. Refactor src/backend code using sonnet
2. Create unit tests for src/frontend using gpt-5.3-codex
3. Update docs in docs/ using gemini-2.5-pro

While they run, please update the TODO list. Once done, use the wait tool to wait for all completions and report the results together.

Usage Example (Context Caching & Sharing)

You can reuse heavy context (like large codebases) using session IDs to save costs while running multiple tasks.

1. First, use acm mcp run with opus to read all files in src/ and understand the project structure.
2. Use the wait tool to wait for completion and retrieve the session_id from the result.
3. Using that session_id, run the following two tasks in parallel with acm mcp run:
   • Create refactoring proposals for src/utils using sonnet
   • Add architecture documentation to README.md using gpt-5.3-codex
4. Finally, wait again to combine both results.

Benefits

• True Async Multitasking: Agent execution happens in the background, returning control immediately. The calling AI can proceed with the next task or invoke another agent without waiting for completion.
• CLI in CLI (Agent in Agent): Directly invoke powerful CLI tools like Claude Code or Codex from any MCP-supported IDE or CLI. This enables broader, more complex system operations and automation beyond host environment limitations.
• Freedom from Model/Provider Constraints: Freely select and combine the "strongest" or "most cost-effective" models from Claude, Codex (GPT), Gemini, and Forge without being tied to a spe
