Hi guys,

I built an implementation that brings MCP's tooling system to OpenAI's function calling interface. The bridge enables using MCP-compliant tools with OpenAI and other OpenAPI-compatible models, extending MCP's reach beyond Claude Desktop.

While it's primarily designed for use with the OpenAI API, you can also use it with Ollama running locally, LM Studio, or any endpoint that implements the OpenAI API spec.

It's a contribution toward broader MCP adoption and interoperability in the LLM ecosystem.
