This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

  • #7399: Filter which tools are loaded from MCP servers (includeTools/excludeTools) - proposes selective tool loading from MCPs
  • #7269: Reduce token overhead from Task tool - addresses token consumption from tool injection
  • #2513: Implement virtual tools feature for GitHub Copilot - similar concept of on-demand tool loading to work around tool limits

These issues discuss complementary approaches to reduce token consumption and manage tool availability. Feel free to ignore if this request has a specific MCP-CLI focus that differs from these.

Indeed, MCP CLI is necessary to turn MCP servers into skills. Without MCP CLI, skills feature doesn't help since MCP server will consume the context on top of any skill instructions. Otherwise, we need to reverse engineer existing MCP servers to CLI tools, which can be avoided with MCP CLI.
