- CLI tools are composable but not LLM-discoverable. MCP tools are discoverable but not composable. MTP bridges the gap with a single `--describe` flag. **mtpcli** turns any `--describe` CLI into an MCP server, turns any MCP server into a composable CLI, and handles discovery, auth, and validation along the way. See the [protocol README](https://github.com/modeltoolsprotocol/modeltoolsprotocol) for the full rationale.
