alt Hacker News> bash-only tooling has higher success for bash-capable models, compared to using predefined tools for models that aren't good at bash?
No. The conclusion is that:
bash-capable models + bash-only tools > bash-capable models + predefined tools
In other words, MCP was just a bunch of bullshit that maybe helped a little bit until the models got good at bash, and now it's basically useless.

bash scripts, famously the last word in software engineering. all these castles of sand we've built atop the beautiful, perfect, timeless Bourne Again SHell. all for naught. fools!

If you're just using bash scripts, where are you putting your enterprise secrets for external systems? How do you cleanly revoke them when a developer leaves your team?
MCP moves execution into a remote environment where it is easy for enterprises to secure access to internal and external systems. OAuth based access makes it easy to audit and revoke tokens. Central HTTP interface makes it trivially easy to monitor and audit.
They solve different problems.
