LLM CLI Gateway MCP Server

local only

LLM CLI Gateway runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 231 installs a week from npm. Last commit 9 Sep 2026.

One MCP endpoint for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Grok and Mistral CLIs, with durable async jobs.

What the code does

We read the source, 18 h ago · rules 3dff92dd89df

Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Builds a file path from a variable installer/internal/setupui/server.go:61
        filepath.Join(wd, rel),
    const result = spawnSync(cmd, args, { encoding: "utf8", timeout: 5_000, windowsHide: true });
Page executes code built at runtime setup/ui/index.html:405
        el("remoteFields").innerHTML = rows.join("");
    Object.entries(process.env).filter(([key]) => !key.toUpperCase().startsWith("GIT_"))

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

LLM CLI Gateway — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for LLM CLI Gateway?
LLM CLI Gateway runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package llm-cli-gateway was installed 231 times last week.
How do I connect LLM CLI Gateway?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls llm-cli-gateway straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use LLM CLI Gateway?
The npm package llm-cli-gateway was installed 231 times in the last week. Week over week that is -6%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is LLM CLI Gateway open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 16 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
