Why AI Agents Are Abandoning Model Context Protocol for CLI‑First Toolchains

In early 2026 the AI community witnessed a sharp shift away from Model Context Protocol (MCP) toward CLI‑first approaches, driven by token‑cost inflation, fragmented authentication, and loss of composability, with developers favoring the lightweight, text‑based nature of command‑line tools for building robust agent pipelines.
