You can solve the same problem by giving subsets of MCP tools to subagents so each subagent is responsible for only a subset of tools.

Or...just don't slam 100 tools into your agent in the first place.

But I can do them with CLI so that's a negative for MCP?

  • You've missed the point and hyperfocused on the story around context and not why an org would want to have centralized servers exposing MCP endpoints instead of CLIs

    • I would want to know what point I missed. I can have 100 CLI's but not 100 MCP tools.

      100 MCP tools will bloat the context whereas 100 CLI's won't. Which part do you disagree with?
