generate_cli_command(server_spec: Annotated[str, cyclopts.Parameter(help='Server URL, Python file, MCPConfig JSON, discovered name, or .js file')], output: Annotated[str, cyclopts.Parameter(help='Output file path (default: cli.py)')] = 'cli.py') -> None
Generate a standalone CLI script from an MCP server. Connects to the server, reads its tools/resources/prompts, and writes a Python script that can invoke them directly. Also generates a SKILL.md agent skill file unless —no-skill is passed. Examples: fastmcp generate-cli weather fastmcp generate-cli weather my_cli.py fastmcp generate-cli http://localhost:8000/mcp fastmcp generate-cli server.py output.py -f fastmcp generate-cli weather —no-skill
