mcp-this

# `mcp-this` > An MCP Server that dynamically exposes CLI/bash commands as tools and prompt templates through YAML configuration files. `mcp-this` lets you turn any command-line tool into an MCP tool and create structured prompt templates that any MCP Client (e.g. Claude Desktop) can use. Instead of writing code, you simply define commands, prompts, and their parameters in YAML files, and the MCP Server makes them available to MCP Clients like Claude Desktop. **Core Value:** Transform CLI commands into MCP tools and create reusable prompt templates using simple YAML configuration. --- ## How It Works Define **tools** (CLI commands) and **prompts** (AI templates) in YAML: ```yaml tools: get-current-time: description: | Display the current date and time in various formats. Examples: - get_current_time(format="iso") → 2025-05-18T17:17:39Z - get_current_time(format="readable") → Friday, May 18, 2025 5:17 PM execution: command: >- if [ "<<format>>" = "iso" ]; then date -u +"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ"; elif [ "<<format>>" = "readable" ]; then date "+%A, %B %d, %Y %I:%M %p"; else echo "ISO: $(date -u +"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ")"; echo "Readable: $(date "+%A, %B %d, %Y %I:%M %p")"; fi parameters: format: description: "Time format: iso, readable, or empty for both" required: false system-info: description: Get basic system information execution: command: uname -a && echo "CPU: $(nproc) cores" parameters: {} prompts: code-reviewer: description: Perform a thorough code review with best practices focus template: | Please review the following code with a focus on: - Code quality and best practices - Security vulnerabilities - Performance considerations {{#if focus_area}}- Special attention to: {{focus_area}}{{/if}} Code to review: {{code}} {…
