Show HN: Simple to build MCP servers that easily connect with
custom LLM calls
Hi! After learning about MCP, I'm really excited about the future
of provider-agnostic, re-usable tooling. Unfortunately I've found
that while it's easy to implement an MCP server for use with tools
that support it (such as Claude Desktop), it's not as easy to
implement your own support (such as integrating an MCP server into
your own LLM application). We implemented a thin MCP wrapper that
easily integrates with Mirascope calls so that you can hook up an
MCP server and client super easily to any supported LLM provider.
Excited to see what people build with this!

| Two thumbs up!
