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 details | Not documented | Claude Code✓ Local stdio Claude Desktop✓ Local stdio Codex✓ Local stdio VS Code✓ Local stdio Cursor✓ Local stdio OpenCode✓ Local stdio |
| Client coverage note | Local stdio runs on your computer. Streamable HTTP connects to a remotely hosted MCP server. | |
| Access and data | ||
| Authentication | OAuth sign-in to ElevenLabs; revocable workspace-scoped access; no MCP API key required. | No server authentication is documented for local stdio. Running-browser connections support optional WebSocket headers; an open remote-debugging port lets local applications control Chrome. |
| Cost | Connecting the MCP does not require a local install or MCP API key. Creative generation and other metered ElevenLabs operations may consume account credits; estimate-first guidance is documented for costly generations. | The open-source npm package lists no MCP fee. Chrome, Node.js, client, model, and external-service costs are separate. |
| Permissions | OAuth-scoped workspace access. Official MCP guidance includes read operations plus create/update/duplicate/delete agent and related resource operations; destructive calls exist. | Inspects, debugs, automates, and modifies browser state through navigation, input, script evaluation, screenshots, uploads, extensions, memory, performance, and PWA tools. |
| Data handling | Remote hosted service. Tool requests and authorized ElevenLabs workspace/media data are processed through ElevenLabs rather than staying local. | Browser content is exposed to the connected client. Performance tools send trace URLs to Google CrUX by default, and usage statistics with invocation success, latency, and environment data are enabled by default; broader retention is not documented. |
| Limitations | ||
| Tradeoffs |
|
|
| Risk context | Hosted OAuth reduces secret-handling burden, but the server can perform state-changing and potentially destructive workspace actions and can trigger credit-consuming media generation. Human confirmation should be retained for destructive or paid operations. | Can expose sensitive browser sessions and execute arbitrary browser actions or scripts. Use isolated profiles, URL allow/block patterns, restricted file paths, and do not expose remote-debugging ports. |
