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 | ||
| 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 | Depends on configured MCP servers and LLM/cloud providers; the framework documents configuration/secrets and OAuth support. | None. |
| Cost | Open-source framework; model providers, Temporal/cloud deployment and connected services may be billable. | The ecosystem-official reference package is MIT licensed and has no service fee. Model tokens, local compute, and MCP-host costs remain. |
| Permissions | Inherits the tool/resource authority of every connected MCP server plus any workflow/cloud runtime permissions. | No external service scopes are required. The local process receives thought text and reasoning metadata from the MCP host and returns structured reasoning state. |
| Data handling | Workflow data can pass through connected MCP servers, model providers and optional cloud/Temporal services; deployment-specific policies control retention. | Reasoning text is processed by the local stdio server. The connected MCP host, model provider, and their logs may still transmit or retain tool arguments according to their own policies. Thought logging can be disabled with DISABLE_THOUGHT_LOGGING=true. |
| Limitations | ||
| Tradeoffs |
|
|
| Risk context | Broad authority across multiple MCP servers/providers makes permission and production-governance evidence important before Selected promotion. | System permissions are low, but prompts and reasoning can contain secrets and repeated calls can increase token cost. Keep sensitive material out of thought text, disable thought logging where appropriate, and use an approved package version. |
