More appropriately: the terminal is all you need.

I have used MCP daily for a few months. I'm now down to a single MCP server: terminal (iTerm2). I have OpenAPI specs on hand if I ever need to provide them, but honestly shell commands and curl get you pretty damn far.

I never knew how far it was possible to go in bash shell with the built-in tools until I saw the LLMs use them.

Spurred by macos switch to zsh, I've gone all in on zsh customization (with oh-my-zsh). But since I've moved to Linux, it's been bash daily (with a brief fish interlude). Everything under the sun works with bash.
