WHAT IF YOU DON'T NEED MCP AT ALL?

Summary from the TLDR Dev newsletter

MCP servers for browser automation with agents are often inefficient and hard to extend. Instead, simple Bash scripts and code for tasks like starting a browser, navigating URLs, executing JavaScript, and taking screenshots are usually more token efficient and more customizable. By cloning tool repositories and setting up an alias, these scripts become globally available to agents like Claude, making browser interaction easier.
