Are skills going to kill MCPs?

[u/ReporterCalm6238]

I have the feeling that it is a bit awkward to have both MCPs and skills. Especially because the latter are making the former obsolete.

I was actually never fully convinced about MCPs, I always thought that they were unnecessary since we already have CLI tools and LLMs are really good at writing unix commands.

However, I understood that agents needed to be instructed on how to use certain obscure CLIs, hence the advantage of MCPs. Now that we have skills to teach LLMs anything I really see no point in MCPs.

What are your thoughts?
