Teknium agrees: with better tool calling, MCP now beats CLIs for most integrations

Nous Research co-founder Teknium replied that he agrees — at least for remote MCPs — with @trq212's take that MCPs are now better than CLIs for most integrations. The reasoning: models have gotten much better at tool calling, tools can be deferred, and MCP is now stateless. Practical tip: if you need to compose or filter data, add params like query to your MCP tools.
