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 | No authentication is required for the local MCP process. | The official package documents Tableau authentication and server connection configuration. |
| Cost | No separate MCP fee is documented for the open-source package. | The MCP integration has no separately verified MCP100 price conclusion. Publisher subscriptions, API usage, compute, storage, and AI-client charges may apply. |
| Permissions | The MCP can read and write local documents. `KORDOC_ROOT` confines MCP file access to a directory and `KORDOC_OFFLINE=1` blocks outbound traffic. | Tableau site roles, content permissions, and connected-data policies determine what the server can return. |
| Data handling | Document parsing/OCR/rendering runs locally. Some OCR models can be downloaded at runtime unless offline mode is enabled. | Authorized service data and tool results pass through the MCP server to the connected AI client. Review the publisher and client data policies before using sensitive analytics & data information. |
| Limitations | ||
| Tradeoffs |
|
|
| Risk context | The MCP can process sensitive government/business documents and can fill, patch, redact, generate, and render files. Untrusted documents can be hostile inputs. | Workbook metadata and query results may expose business-sensitive information or inherited data access. Use a test environment where practical, least-privilege credentials, narrowly enabled tools, and explicit confirmation for mutations. MCP100 did not execute third-party server code during this documentation review. |
