"intentionally provocative"
replyI would almost use the words "intentionally uninformed" instead.
There are huge holes in the article (as pointed out by many comments here), and I have to wonder if you genuinely don't have enough experience with MCP to bring them up, or you intentionally omitted them to make the arguments for CLI.
I get it. This is coming from a place where I see MCP's being adopted, where CLI is (in my opinion) better. Particularly where you're already in a CLI environment, and tool composition is necessary. I'm sure there's plenty of folks that aren't operating in that environment.
replyThank you for writing this. I've had similar thoughts myself and have been teetering back and forth between MCP and skills that invoke CLI. I'm hoping this creates a discussion that points to the right pattern.
