I have for a lot of my own tools and personal stuff a slightly different approach with this that doesn't use MCP. If you combine skills, with a thin CLI for any API you get a dramatically cheaper version of an MCP and with all the benefits of it just being a simple CLI. Most of the time if I have something like Linear or Hubspot, I just point it at the actual API docs and ask the LLM to make a thin CLI for that API. That way I don't have to load tools for the CLI until needed by a slash command, but the definitions are also tiny so my context stays mostly free.
