state. i'm not sure if they had that in mind but one keyword that is important here is: state. Sure CLI tools can also affect state, but in MCP service it's somewhat more natural?

It's the security layer that I'm most interested with MCPs. Granting full access to the CLI feels super dangerous and maybe there are options to certain commands that I want to restrict from LLM usage.
Im still struggling with understanding when MCP works better. I move everything to cli after a while. Can you give me more concrete examples? Because I don’t doubt you, I just don’t understand.
