mcp vs agent-bridge
mcp: MCP CLI allows you to call tools from MCP servers directly from your terminal. Configure a server once, then use it like any other command. Output is always JSON, enabling piping and scripting.; agent-bridge: AgentBridge uses a two-process architecture with a foreground MCP client (bridge.ts) and a persistent background daemon (daemon.ts). It enables bidirectional communication between Claude Code and Codex via a control WebSocket and proxy, with automatic reconnection and message loop prevention.
