In package terms it is a local, installable MCP client/host: the user configures MCP servers once, chooses a model provider, and interacts with tools from a terminal. ### Historique du projet The project was created publicly on GitHub in December 2024, soon after MCP became a common protocol for connecting tools to LLM clients. Its README describes MCPHost as a CLI that supports interactive chat, non-interactive prompts, YAML-based scripts, configurable MCP servers, hooks, multiple model providers, and multiple MCP transports. MCPHost's configuration story evolved around home-directory YAML or JSON files. The current README says it prefers `.mcphost.yml` or `.mcphost.json`, while retaining `.mcp.yml` and `.mcp.json` for backwards compatibility, which reflects the fast-moving naming conventions of early MCP tooling. ### Historique d'adoption By July 2026, GitHub metadata showed about 1.6k stars and more than 200 forks, enough to make it one of the better-known standalone terminal hosts for MCP workflows. Its release history on GitHub starts with v0.4.3 in January 2025 and reaches v0.34.0 by February 2026. The project's adoption comes from users who want a model-and-tool terminal rather than a specific desktop app. The README documents providers such as Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Ollama, and OpenAI-compatible endpoints, which helped it fit mixed local and hosted model setups. ### Modes d'utilisation A typical user installs `mcphost`, places MCP server definitions in `~/.mcphost.yml` or a compatible JSON/YAML file, and starts an interactive session with `mcphost`. The same binary can also run one-shot prompts with `-p`, choose models with `--model`, override provider URLs and API keys with flags, or execute script files with YAML front matter. For MCP configuration, the README documents local, remote, and builtin server types mapped to stdio, streamable HTTP, and in-process transports. It also supports environment-variable substitution in config files, which is the documented way to keep API keys out of committed configuration. ### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent MCPHost is package-nerd interesting because it packages the host side of MCP as a single CLI rather than requiring a GUI client. That makes it useful in shell scripts, CI jobs, demos, and reproducible examples where a Homebrew or Nix install is easier to explain than editor-specific setup. Its backwards-compatible config filenames also show a common early-ecosystem pattern: tools stabilized around MCP names while retaining older generic `.mcp` files so existing users did not have to rewrite local setups. ### Chronologie - 2024-12: GitHub repository created. - 2025-01: v0.4.3 release published. - 2025: README documents preferred `.mcphost` config files plus backwards-compatible `.mcp` config files. - 2026-02: v0.34.0 release published. ### Related projects - MCPHost is related to MCP server packages such as MCP Toolbox for Databases and to inspection/interaction tools such as mcptools. It also overlaps with MCP-aware coding clients and agent CLIs, but its niche is hosting model conversations and MCP servers directly from the terminal. ### Sources - - - ## Notes de sécurité narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Risque Geiger:** vert / faible - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
