This looks nice, congrats on the launch. I'm trying this at work on Monday, I suffer from this problem for tons of MCP tools that are MCP only, not CLI, and completely fill my context window.
First thoughts: it seems the broader community is moving towards Agent Skills as a "replacement" for MCPs to tackle the context pollution problem.
Agent harnesses like Pi don't ship with MCP support as an intentional design choice. MCP servers[0] are being rewritten as pure CLIs in order to support this new scenario.
Problem with skills is that agents have to load the entire skill for them to use it, or you could break down big skills into multiple smaller ones, which is just a hassle compared to cmcp.
With cmcp you get to use all thr available mcps, while still not bloating context.

Thoughts on this?
