    From use case point of view skills are unstructured. MCP is structured. You don't want stripe skill. You want stripe MCP of CLI to interact with. When stripe does an update you wan…

    If you read my posts before 2023, it's same style. I guess my thinking way is similar to LLMs, has clear structure. I used to have more grammar issues, that LLMs fix, but the high …

    Rust doesn't compile different machines well. So choose Go

    I did - I have my almost a dozen CLIs that are custom built that I'm using. Very reliable. It still needs to do discovery (--help etc.), always gets the job done

    This is cool! I was actually thinking if I should support daemons just to support playwright. Now I don't have a use case for it

    FYI the blog has direct comparison to Anthropic’s Tool Search. Regardless, most MCPs are dumping. I know Cloudflare MCP is amazing but other 1000 useful MCPs are not.

    I actually want to combine this and CLIHub into a directory where someone can download all the official MCPs or CLIs (or MCP to CLIs) with a single command

    I don't prefer to use online skills where half has malware Official MCPs are trusted. Official MCPs CLIs are trusted.

    I was happy with playwright like MCPs that require the daemon so didn't convert them to CLIs. My use cases are almost all 3rd party integrations. Have you seen any improvements con…

    Nice! Compared both --- TL;DR CLIHUB compiles MCP servers into portable, self-contained binaries — think of it like a compiler. Best for distribution, CI, and environments where yo…

    Main differences are CLIHub - written in go - zero-dependency binaries - cross-compilation built-in (works on all platforms) - supports OAuth2 w/ PKCE, S2S, Google SA, API key, bas…

    Good catch. I didn't release the website yet. I'll remove the link

    personal experience, definitely yes. You can try it out with `gh` rather than `Github MCP`. You'll see the difference immediately (espicially more if you have many MCPs)

    I can give example. LLM only know `linear` tool exists. I ask "get me the comments in the last issue" Next call LLM does is `linear --help 2>&1 | grep -i -E "search|list. issue|get…

    It's the same from functionality perspective. The schema's are converted to CLI versions of it. It's a UI change more than anything.
