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 | Uses Google authentication/credentials documented by the official server; exact credential flow must be bound from current official/local evidence. | Supports Redis username/password URLs, individual credential options, TLS through `rediss://`, CA certificate verification, cluster mode, and Microsoft Entra ID authentication for Azure Managed Redis. |
| Cost | Google Analytics/API quotas and model/provider costs apply; no extra MCP entitlement should be inferred without publisher evidence. | The first-party server is open source and the PyPI package documents no MCP usage fee. Redis Cloud, infrastructure, network, container, and AI-client costs remain separate. |
| Permissions | Read-only according to current Google Analytics MCP documentation; it does not edit Analytics settings. | The server can read and write Redis keys and data structures, operate streams and pub/sub, manage search indexes, and inspect server information according to the connected Redis user's ACL. Redis ACL configuration is the effective permission boundary. |
| Data handling | Analytics reporting/property data can be shared with the connected AI client/provider. | The stdio server runs locally and sends Redis query inputs and returned key values to the connected MCP client. It connects directly to the configured Redis deployment. Credentials can be supplied in a URI, CLI arguments, or environment variables; avoid embedding them in shareable config and logs. |
| Limitations | ||
| Tradeoffs |
|
|
| Risk context | Main concerns are analytics-data confidentiality and credential scoping; the reviewed server is not a write/admin surface. | A broad Redis tool set can expose or mutate application state, sessions, queues, cached records, and vector data. Use a dedicated database, a narrowly scoped ACL user, verified TLS, pinned releases, and backups. This review does not claim MCP100 execution testing. |

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