MCP has been a weird ride. I built https://terminalwire.com before MCP was a thing to make it way easier for people to add a CLI/TUI to their web apps/SaaS.

Then MCP comes out and AI explodes, sucking all the air out of the room for non-AI tools.

Now it seems like AI can work with CLIs better than MCP, so I’m tempted to slap AI integration all over the project to better convey the idea.

It’s crazy how quickly MCP has run it’s course and watching an entire ecosystem rediscover things from first principals.
