"MCP is dead. Long live the CLI" by Eric Holmes https://ejholmes.github.io/2026/02/28/mcp-is-dead-long-live-the-cli.html

I never understood the mania around MCP – it always seemed like a way-too-complex solution to the problem. Maybe we will eventually just land on skills and CLIs (or maybe just CLIs!).

@nolan I never understood it either. Why not have an api with search support, then the mml can describe what it wants and get a list of likely tools? There is no reason for everything to be done in the same LLM or even by an LLM.
