I used to compare MCP and Skill in my post (AI-assisted [1]) and also maintain a CLI/MCP/Skill for YouTube.

In my opinion, MCP is not dead. "MCP Belongs to Software Engineering", it ships existing concepts from software engineering into AI. CLI, MCP-tools, and OpenAPI are interchangeable to some degree, but MCP is more than tools; there are mcp-apps[2], lazy load in context[3].
