what about web apps that requires oauth login - for normal users? For example, is a typical Google Drive user expected to install an official google drive CLI and a skill md file just to interact with Google Drive in the chatgpt app? That seems absurd, IMO. Clicking “install” via an MCP / Plugin marketplace and then logging in via Oauth is less confusing. MCP is also way more convenient (as a user) if i’m interacting with an API that supports oauth anyway. I don’t need to generate an api key, install a binary, create an md file, etc. CLIs and skills are great too! But not always the best choice. |

note: cli tools do auth too — gh and claude code itself have some of the nicest auth flows i've experienced
