The co-founder of Perplexity just said they're moving away from MCP internally. Y Combinator's CEO called MCP out publicly. When the people who built the integrations are abandoning the approach — pay attention. In this video I break down why MCP's context window bloat and authentication friction are becoming a bottleneck, and two massive open-source projects that just launched around the CLI-first approach: Google Workspace CLI (GWS) — one CLI for all of Google. Gmail, Drive, Sheets, Calendar, Docs. 100+ built-in agent skills, enterprise security with Model Armor, and dynamic API discovery. Install once, authenticate once, done. CLI Anything — point it at any open-source software repo and it auto-generates a full CLI. Blender, Audacity, LibreOffice, OBS, Stable Diffusion. 1,500+ passing tests across 11 apps. From Hong Kong University's research lab. Your AI agent can now control almost anything through the terminal. Google Workspace on one side, the entire open-source ecosystem on the other.
