MCP vs. CLI: Why CLI makes more sense
- annv23 6mo agoMCP for discovery, CLI for execution. That framing clicks immediately.
- tiny-automates 6mo agoyeah that's basically the whole thesis compressed into six words. we kept trying to articulate why the CLI worked better and it always came back to that - MCP does discovery really well, no reason to throw that away. but the moment you start routing 30 sequential web fetches through it your agent is drowning in overhead. different problems, different tools
- dean_shabi 6mo agoVery much agreed. Love the visualisations and detailed explainer guys!
- tiny-automates 6mo agothanks! glad the visuals helped, we wanted the data to speak for itself.
