Show HN: Model Tools Protocol (MTP) – Forget MCP, bash is all you need 5 months ago
I ran into this with Claude too. Using the gh CLI worked far better than the GitHub MCP. The model already knows and “understands” CLIs, and this feels like the right abstraction level for making tools discoverable without breaking composability.
Obviously the model has likely been trained on gh CLI already, but that just reinforces the idea that CLIs are a natural interface for models when discovery is handled well.
