The API Dispatch #11: CLI is coming to eat our MCPs!

This article from The API Dispatch series examines the current state of Model Context Protocol (MCP) in the tech industry. It highlights recent anti-MCP sentiment, including Perplexity's move away from MCPs toward APIs and CLIs, and Eric Holmes' perspective on MCP's decline. The author argues that while MCP may not replace APIs, it has niche uses like Cloudflare's CodeMode. The article also introduces Google's WebMCP, an early preview that turns web pages into MCP servers for browser AI agents, and discusses potential use cases and security concerns. Overall, it provides a balanced view on the evolving landscape of AI agent tooling.
