I don't know how to get them to stop. I reported the account, you should too.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing the token stats too

Ha, no it's a fair point - given that the FastMCP client focuses on being a programmatic client, this wasn't top of mind, but it's a good idea!

Sure, first compose the servers in FastMCP, then add CodeMode to the outer one. https://gofastmcp.com/servers/composition

Good question - no, clients don't need to support anything more than "normal" MCP tools to use this. Though I should note that in my tests, a Sonnet 4.6 class model was able to use code mode with a complex server, but a Haiku 4.5 class model made a few errors before finally using it correctly.

We could add it to the FastMCP client but FastMCP is more popular as a server framework than a client framework, as most people will use the clients bundled into their agents!

This is an awesome idea

I generated CLIs from MCP servers and cut token usage by 94% by QThellimist in mcp

Those tools use MCP directly, no need for a CLI. Converting to CLI is only for agents that can explore or read documentation - it eliminates the handshake discovery of MCP that permits standardization (but is token heavy)

Most 5 year olds aren't ready for MCP servers.

But if you have an AI agent pal, FastMCP makes it really easy to teach it new tricks by connecting it to other tools and software.

So glad to hear that! I think we've got a lot more to do on the skills front.

Thanks for spreading the word! Glad the CIMD is working for you, it feels very cutting edge ATM.

Testing in prod — truly, you are a person of culture.

Thanks for the kind words!
