ON_Discourse Group Chat: Follow My Flow about MCP, APIs, and CLI with Sami Viitamäki

​The conversation around AI tooling often collapses into silver bullet proclamations or premature obituaries — "MCP is dead," "just use APIs," "Who needs CLI?" "skills are the new prompts." And so on.

​Sami Viitamäki has spent the past years shipping with all of these daily across BOND and Futuriant — dozens of skills, self-built MCP servers, direct API calls, and plain CLI execution — his view is that they are not competing options: they're a stack. The important question is what the tool is used for, and at which layer.

​In this session Sami maps the landscape in plain language, show how the tools cooperate in real production work, and open it up: where are you drawing these lines, and what might be genuinely dying versus just being declared dead?
