Still believe MCPs are a mistake and should be CLIs the model can call

well kind of since the cli already supports scripting via cmdline arguments. Just need to add a dump command so instead of a menu being shown it dumps json

And theoretically you could tell your ai to search for a video/playlist etc and download it and maybe send it to your phone all without using the youtube api

plus potentially other stuff, though will see
