Critical: These Are Direct Tool Calls

MCP tools are direct tool calls — exactly like Read, Grep, or Bash. They are NOT CLI commands.

CORRECT — call the tool directly:

Tool: mcp__tavily__tavily_search
Parameters: { "query": "Next.js 15 server actions best practices 2026" }

WRONG — do NOT shell out:

Bash: claude mcp call tavily tavily_search ...  # This does not work
