Yep, that was exactly my point with the ask to elaborate.
MCPs and CLIs feel like two wholly different things. Contrasting them feels even more confusing than comparing Skills vs MCPs, which would also be wrong in my personal view. Different runtime requirements, different access patterns, different distribution, different discoverability.
I agree with @martinanld that MCPs, especially with the advent of EMA, are a completely different beast thanks to a structured way for auth and access control.
