Simple question: why not a cli instead? As seems that lately LLM and agentic tools seems to be better at using clis rather than bloated MCPs?

I think they're only better for CLI tools that are in the training data. If it's a new tool, you'd need to dump the full documentation in the context either way.
This can be solved well enough by having the model invoke `--help`

Tools like Claude Code have improved here. They won’t load all tools but instead rely on tool search. Context bloat of MCP servers was a thing if badly written clients but it’s certainly getting better
Because it was started before the revelation MCP was a context hog. https://github.com/LaurieWired/GhidraMCP
This is what I was thinking, or fewer, more versatile tools. Having the description of 110 tools in your context window at all times is just noise.
