Side-by-side MCP evidence comparison
Evidence field	AgentRQShortlist candidate	Ghidra MCP ServerMCP100 Recommended
Task fit
Best for	Coordinating workspace tasks, agent status updates, permission requests, and human-agent communication through AgentRQ	Querying decompilation, symbols, references, functions, and analysis state inside Ghidra
Not ideal for	A lightweight standalone MCP server without a frontend, persistent database, authentication, and deployment responsibilities	Static analysis workflows that do not use Ghidra or do not need agent-driven interaction
Avoid when	You cannot protect workspace tokens, Google OAuth credentials, task content, and the persistent AgentRQ deployment	The analyzed binary or Ghidra project cannot be exposed to the connected AI client

Access and data
Authentication	The self-hosted architecture documents Google OAuth2 and JWT. Workspace MCP uses a token, while Supervisor and CoreMCP use OAuth2.	HTTP bearer authentication is optional through GHIDRA_MCP_AUTH_TOKEN; without it authentication is disabled. Non-loopback binding is refused without a token. Scripts require GHIDRA_MCP_ALLOW_SCRIPTS.
Cost	No project or service pricing is documented. Hosting, identity-provider, client, and model costs can still apply.	The Apache-2.0 project lists no MCP fee. Ghidra, Java, Maven, hosting, and shared-server costs are separate.
Permissions	Workspace tools create and update tasks, statuses, assignments, replies, conversations, and attachments. Supervisor tools have broader workspace, task, schedule, assignment, messaging, permission-verdict, and attachment scope.	Reads and writes binaries and projects, renames and types symbols, adds comments and structures, executes scripts, performs P-code emulation and debugging, and integrates with Ghidra Server.
Data handling	Uses user-scoped SQLite storage for workspace and task state, conversations, messages, and attachments. SSE notifications and token-bearing workspace URLs are documented; retention and telemetry are not documented.	Operates on local binaries and projects and optionally shared Ghidra Server data; decompilation, memory, debugger, and script results are returned through MCP. Telemetry and retention are not documented.
Limitations
Tradeoffs	A synchronized workspace improves oversight, while self-hosting adds application, authentication, database, and token-management overhead.	It accelerates navigation and analysis, but agent actions can alter project state and reverse-engineering output still requires expert validation.
Risk context	Task, communication, attachment, and Supervisor administration can have broad organizational impact. Treat token-bearing URLs as secrets, separate Supervisor credentials, and review the different authorization scopes before deployment.	Write access, optional arbitrary Java scripts, debugger control, and shared-server access create substantial integrity and confidentiality risk. Prefer loopback, bearer auth, scopes, scripts disabled, and supervised writes.
