Dave Winer ☕️I’m learning about MCP.
Looks familiar, like the glue script files in Frontier.
I’m interested in hearing from chatgpt/claude users about whether they use MCP interfaces?
Do you use them?
Kristopher Johnson@davew CLI tools are generally more efficient and easier for agents to use. MCP is good for the cases where you want a server to maintain state or network connections.
Anthony Baker@oldmankris @davew I lean on CLI tools over MCP these days. A lot of it is about context management and token usage. This is a great piece talking about why CLI beats MCP for use with agents and LLMs.

Mats Staugaard@davew I use the Readwise MCP in ChatGPT and Claude. Great integration to search or give context to stuff I’ve read and saved in Readwise (a read it later app).
Jake Savin@davew I have experimented with Chrome DevTools MCP with Claude Code but it's way slower for the agent to work with than Vercel's agent-browser. That said I have an MCP server that I built myself (also with Claude Code) that's not ready for prime-time yet but I think has promise. It's essentially the glue idea in Frontier but as an MCP server instead of UserTalk scripts in the apps table. But for coding bash is the way, as others have mentioned.
