My dream tooling is for every tool to have an terminal interface so that I can create comprehensive megabooks to get all the context that lives in my head. i.e.

  You might like MCP then.

That's entirely different to what's being desired by GP. > > My dream tooling is for every tool to have an terminal interface so that I can create comprehensive megabooks to get all the context that lives in my head. i.e. jira, datadog, github etc, all in one pane. My perspective on this is essentially having jira/datadog/github/etc be pluggable into the CLI, and where standard bash commands & pipes can be used without major restrictions. (Something akin to Yahoo Pipes) MCP is highly centered around LLMs analyzing user requests & creating queries to be run on MCP servers. What's being desired here doesn't centralize around LLMs in any sense at all.

      It’s actually not too far off. Yes MCP is designed for LLM interactions, but we observed that it’s an invocation API that’s pretty generic. So we built a package format that encapsulates computations and makes them accessible from any of MCP, REST, JSON-RPC over WS (the generic cousin of MCP).. We build logic once and make it automatically accessible from any of these consumption methods, in a standardized way to our clients, and I am indeed piping some of these directly in the CLI to jq and others for analysis.

  Not sure what you mean- github and datadog already have official CLI tools.

    Jira has official CLI as well https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JCLI/overview https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JCLI/overview and plenty of unofficial ones

      This is not an official API, this is from third party. stop promoting appfire products as official api.

  Maybe something like wtfutil? (Although wtf development has been stuck for a year, but I guess that's the general idea...) https://wtfutil.com/ https://wtfutil.com/

  +1. Personally, I’m a fan of TUIs too that make things a bit more user friendly. Just imagine an internal TUI framework that has components for each internal service that you can lego-build into personalised TUI dashboard. Hmm, seems like something I could work on the side at work. Would be a huge undertaking but very interesting.

    Yes this is what I was thinking. This is how terraform became the lingua franca of iac, I was hoping that something like this would happen with TUIs too, so instead of all vendors creating their own bespoke cli, they all implemented a plugin of some generic TUI framework.

  IMHO just an API would be enough, tool could be written on top of that. My ideal world would be every service, tool and application to have API that I can use i.e. if fridge is open too long (API polling or API webhook) I can send roomba to close it (using API of roomba). Because why not?! World of API...
