Summary not yet generated for this article.
Original Text
Some things I don't understand with MCP vs. CLI
Permissions: you can already scope CLI command permissions
Discoverability: you can already discover commands/arguments with a help flag
Why add a whole other process to the computer?
Do MCP proponents imagine in the future every program on your PC has another MCP process also running?
It seems like adding extra complexity/moving parts for not much benefit.
