I wonder if what we'll get out of MCP tech in the end is a standardised machine readable description of CLI interfaces? Could be neat actually.

This got renamed right in front of my eyes

First they came for our RAGs, now for our MCPs. What’s next ?

Lol people are so lost in the bs

The CLI vs MCP debate is about input ergonomics — how the agent invokes tools. Both sides are arguing about the left side of the pipeline.

The harder unsolved problem is the right side: what happens to the output before it becomes consequential action. Neither a CLI nor an MCP server tells you whether the text the agent just generated is compliant, scoped, or admissible. That enforcement problem exists regardless of which invocation pattern you prefer.

The best CLI in the world doesn't help you when the agent produces a clinical summary that omits a contraindication or a financial disclosure that drifts outside regulatory bounds. That's a different layer entirely — and it's mostly being ignored while everyone argues about transport protocols.
