MCP or CLI? Here's When to Use Each.

CLI tools have been exploding lately, and with that comes a lot of confusion — does this mean MCP is dead? Do you have to choose one or the other?
In this video I break down the real difference between MCP and CLI tools, why coding agents love the CLI, and why the context window problem with MCP is actually being solved. I also get into when MCP is genuinely the better choice — remote access, auth scoping, and enterprise use cases where CLI falls short.

The short answer is: it's not a versus. Most serious setups use both. But knowing when to reach for which one matters.
