Great article, and what I would expect from someone inspecting the hype and not jumping head first, just because influencers (paid or unpaid) are screaming for engagement just because a large X account posted their opinions.

This is one of the first posts that I've see that cuts through the hype against both MCPs and CLIs with nuance findings.

There were times where it didn't make sense for using MCPs (such as connecting it to a database) and CLIs don't make sense at all for suddenly generating them for everything. It just seems like the use-case was a solution in search of a problem on top of a bad standard.

But no-one could answer "who" was the customer of each of these, which is why the hype was unjustified.
