Man I wish I could downvote stories. There needs to be some way to push back against dark patterns in writing, like clickbait.
Clearly MCP is not dead, as the article itself says. But the article lies in order to play on human sentiment/heuristics and steal your attention. It's like shouting fire in order to get people to run over to see your business.
Most of the internet is clickbait for a long while now. No one would read a title like "MCP and CLI can both be usefull in certain scenarios. Ask your AI and he'll tell ya" :)
