Hi HN, I am wondering if with the recent push for CLIs rather than MCPs people have heard of or are using Restish for creating their own CLIs for APIs?
The thing lets you create a single CLI for any number of APIs following OpenAPI v3 or JSON Schema. I've tested if with our self-hosted Grafana and it does work, though I am not sure if it is as good as the Grafana MCP.
Anyway, it seems perfectly positioned for the CLI over MCP push, while sitting at 1.2k GitHub stars which is tiny by AI standards. So I am wondering if there is more nuance in CLI over MCP here or if other solutions exist?
(Note: I am not in any way affiliated with the project, I just think its neat and interesting)
