But in the context of this discussion, Atlassian has a CLI tool, acli. I'm not quite following why that wouldn't have worked here. As a normal CLI you have all the power you need over it, and the LLM could have used it to fetch all the relevant pages and save to disk, sample a couple to determine the regular format, and then write a script to extract out what they needed, right? Maybe I don't understand the use case you're describing.

Not all agents are running in your CLI or even in any CLI, which is why people are arguing past each other all over the topic of MCP.

I implemented this in an agent which runs in the browser (in our internal equivalent of ChatGPT or Claude's web UI), connecting directly to Atlassian MCP.
