We had `curl`, HTTP and OpenAPI specs, but we created MCP. Now we're wrapping MCP into CLIs...

MCP is a dead end, just ignore it and it will go away.

Next we'll wrap the CLIs into MCPs.

MCP only exists because there's no easy way for AI to run commands on servers.

Oh wait there's ssh. I guess it's because there's no way to tell AI agents what the tool does, or when to invoke it... Except that AI pretty much knows the syntax of all of the standard tools, even sed, jq, etc...

Yeah, ssh should've been the norm, but someone is getting promoted for inventing MCP
