Field-by-field comparison
Compare the evidence before choosing an MCP.
Each signal stays separate, missing facts remain visible, and the column order follows your selection.

| Client coverage note | Local stdio runs on your computer. Streamable HTTP connects to a remotely hosted MCP server. | |
| Access and data | ||
| Authentication | Follow only the publisher source; credential storage, scopes, and revocation remain under review. | No authentication mechanism is documented. Localhost defaults limit the transport scope but are not authentication. |
| Cost | Publisher plans, API usage, infrastructure, or per-action charges may apply; MCP100 has not published a cost conclusion. | No project price is documented. IDA Pro is a prerequisite; its licensing and pricing are separate. |
| Permissions | Exact permissions and read/write boundaries have not completed MCP100 review. | Reads and analyzes local IDA databases and binaries. Documented tools can modify comments, assembly, names, types, functions, and bookmarks, control the debugger, and execute Python. |
| Data handling | Candidate-specific retention, subprocess, telemetry, and model-data behavior remain review items. | Processes local binaries, IDA databases, and debugger state. HTTP, SSE, and headless modes expose service endpoints. The reviewed sources do not document telemetry, retention, or external data handling. |
| Limitations | ||
| Tradeoffs |
|
|
| Risk context | Use a test account, least privilege, read-only controls where available, and explicit approval for mutations. | High-impact reverse-engineering access includes IDB mutation, binary patching, Python execution, and debugger control. Prefer the documented read-only profile where possible, keep endpoints local, and review binding, CORS, and authentication before any remote use. |

Popularity, maintenance, fit, permissions, and client support are independent evidence fields.
