alt Hacker NewsFully agree.
MCP servers were also created at a time where ai and llms were less developed and capable in many ways.
It always seemed weird we'd want to post train on MCP servers when I'm sure we have a lot of data with using cli and shell commands to improve tool calling.
It’s telling the best MCP implementations are those which are a CLI to handle the auth flow then allow the agent to invoke it and return results to stdout.
But even those are not better for agent use than the human cli counterpart.
