Correct me if I'm wrong, but Aider still doesn't do proper tool calling? Last time I tried it, they did it the "old school" way of parsing out unix shell commands from the output text and ran it once the response finished streaming, instead of the sort of tool call/response stuff we have today.

I think this is still the case. There are some open issues around this. I am surprised they have not moved forward more. I find Aider hugely useful, but would like the opportunity to try out MCP with it.

There's an open PR for MCP integration (actually 2 PRs but one has more community consensus around it) with a Priority label on it but it hasn't been merged yet. Hopefully soon.
