You can tell Gemini or Claude it has to use your MCP tool of choice; you can also tell it not to use other tools if it's confused.
Lots of MCPs come with dozens of functions that can be called; you can disable the ones you don't need. Saves on tokens and the agent is less likely to get confused due to a crowded context window.
You can also write a script for the agent that calls the MCP if you needed to. If the functionality you need is available via the cli, you can use that instead of writing an MCP.
