Create a skill that has the CLI in the scripts sub-directory. The implementation language depends on the LLM and the VM it uses. Claude includes shell, python, and a bunch of other interpreters in a Linux environment.

A skill's instructions can direct the LLM to call the CLI.

Claude skills can be installed into Claude web from a web browser. Those skills can then run on the Claude app on your phone.

Ok, I can see there's a new (to me) Customize section where you can install skills. You have been able to connect MCP servers for quite a while.

The UX here isn't great, but let's assume it can be improved. How would auth work with this alternative method? I want to connect to Puma store and that's done using a skill with a CLI. Can the CLI launch your web browser to do oauth from the skill (on a phone)? And then the credentials are saved where?

Not challenging you, I'm open to alternatives to MCP for sure. But MCP seems way more mature especially for non-programming use-cases.
