Everybody’s screaming “MCP is dead, long live CLI” like it’s 2025 again… Meanwhile the guy who literally started the anti-MCP religion has been quietly building OpenClaw around MCP. OpenClaw shipped an MCP wrapper on day one. MCPorter as a first-party skill, his own MCP→CLI bridge, so agents could talk to every MCP server. Now the next version is an MCP server itself. He architected the whole thing around MCP while selling CLI purity to the timeline. Codex and Claude code are eating MCP tools for breakfast, OpenClaw is now both the CLI king and the new MCP hub, and the same crowd declaring MCP dead is retweeting his announcement like it’s not the ultimate plot twist. Pragmatism always wins. The anti-MCP poster child just became an advocate. MCP isn't dead, it's just humble, quietly powering over AI tools you use every day. Even lobsters love MCP 🦞
