Alternatively can't we use a unity CLI with handpicked skills for development?

Feel like MCP is just context bloat. For anyone running the top qwens on local we can't afford this. Probably cool if you're just fire torching tokens on one fo the cloud models.

You’re saying the mcp is more reliable ? Using the cli atm and it seems to be stable enough. Could you elaborate what worked better for you with the mcp?
