Your MCP Server Is Eating Your Context Window. There's a Simpler Way

TL;DR: MCP tool definitions can burn 55,000+ tokens before an agent processes a single user message. We built the Apideck CLI as an AI-agent interface instead:an ~80-token agent prompt replaces tens of thousands of tokens of schema, with progressive disclosure via `--help` and structural safety baked into the binary. Any agent that can run shell commands can use it. No protocol support required.
