grpcli (v0.8.1) is a command-line client for interacting with gRPC servers. It allows connecting to any gRPC service, listing available methods, and calling methods using native JavaScript objects that are converted to protobuf messages. It supports configuration via .grpclirc file, automatic reconnection via standard gRPC backoff retries, and works with both proto2 and proto3. Released under BSD-2-Clause license, maintained on GitHub with low release cadence (last update 2018). Differentiators: REPL-like interactive mode, multiple config profiles, and no dependency on protoc compilation.
