I've created an alternative to CLI and MCP for locally running agentic tools. It uses Unix-based OS's named pipes, which means the client has quick IPC with the tool and it can have in-memory state. I created it to build components for voice agents (TTS, STT, LLM chat) but it has wide range of uses! Comes with a CLI tool, cpipe (like curl), and a Claude Code skill
