Agree. MCP isn't really required. Skills/CLI/API is good enough.

At the AI startup I work on, we never bothered building MCP's - it just never made sense.

And we were using skills before Claude started calling them skills, so they are kind of supported by default. Skills, CLI, Curl API requests - thats pretty much all you need.
