does it? Did you forget the prompts? MCP is just a protocol for tool/function calling which in turn is part of the prompt, quite an important part actually.

Did you think AI works by prompts like "make magic happen" and it... just happens? Anyone who makes dumb arguments like this should not deserve a job in tech.

I’ve literally asked Claude Code to look at and fix an issue on a cluster and it knows to use the cli utils.

Because Claude has that as a built-in tool. Try Claude on web and see how useless AI is without tools.

And don't even get me start with giving AI your entire system in one tool, it's good for toying around only.

Why would I use Claude on web to do that? Why would I use the wrong tool for the job?

		I am not saying you should. I am pointing out AI without tools (which I believe is what you think of when you refer to MCP) is useless.
