cli
cli is an MCP server. Its repository has 184 GitHub stars and is licensed under Apache-2.0; we last read it on 2026-10-24.
This CLI connects to a local MCP server, which in turn connects 25 clients to over 2,000 models/APIs, including Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, ChatGPT, Hermes, and OpenClaw, requiring OAuth for authentication and supporting rollback functionality.
Install
Read from cli’s own README, close to verbatim -- not written by us, and not guessed.
npx -y https://github.com/sandbaseai/cli/releases/download/v0.1.17/sandbaseai-cli-0.1.17.tgz connect
What it reaches, and what it needs
What it connects to
Unverified means a mention in the server’s own description, not a citation. A wrong claim here costs nothing to correct and nothing to trust yet.
Maintenance
Open-source AI CLI and local MCP server connecting 25 clients—Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, ChatGPT, Hermes, and OpenClaw—to 2,000+ models/APIs, with OAuth and rollback.
What cli can do
4 tools documented in its README. An AI client calls these by name.
connect- Connect all detected clients at once or target one specific client.
run_get- Use for asynchronous work, with the returned run_id instead of creating a duplicate run.
doctor- Verify the owned local credential, MCP entry, and Skill.
unregister- Remove the managed Hermes configuration, Skill, and local credential while retaining the shared bridge for other clients.
Read from the README; names are kept only if the README contains them.
