MCP IS DEAD. LONG LIVE THE CLI

Summary from the TLDR AI newsletter

MCP is already dying. Major projects like OpenClaw and Pi don't support it for good reason. LLMs are really good at figuring out things on their own. All they really need is a command-line interface and some docs. CLIs are much more practical for both humans and agents. The tools already exist and are well-documented, and both humans and agents understand how to use them.
