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 | The official server uses a Runway API key. | None. |
| Cost | The MCP integration has no separately verified MCP100 price conclusion. Publisher subscriptions, API usage, compute, storage, and AI-client charges may apply. | The ecosystem-official reference package is MIT licensed and has no service fee. Model tokens, local compute, and MCP-host costs remain. |
| Permissions | Runway API credentials, model access, content policy, and account quotas govern generation. | 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 | 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 ai & reasoning information. | 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 | The repository has a short history, no strong release track record, and requires source-based setup. 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. | 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. |
