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.

Uncheck an MCP to remove it. Comparing two or three keeps each signal in its own row.

Client coverage note	Local stdio runs on your computer. Streamable HTTP connects to a remotely hosted MCP server.
Access and data
Authentication	Local scanning needs no remote credential; platform features use Semgrep authentication.	The server uses publisher-documented Sonar tokens or managed HTTP authentication.
Cost	The MCP integration has no separately verified MCP100 price conclusion. Publisher subscriptions, API usage, compute, storage, and AI-client charges may apply.	The MCP integration has no separately verified MCP100 price conclusion. Publisher subscriptions, API usage, compute, storage, and AI-client charges may apply.
Permissions	Local filesystem scope and optional Semgrep AppSec Platform token permissions define accessible code and findings.	SonarQube or SonarCloud token permissions, toolsets, and read-only mode constrain accessible projects and actions.
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 security & testing information.	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 security & testing information.
Limitations
Tradeoffs	Scanning shares source-derived findings with the MCP client and may consume substantial local resources.	Source findings and code excerpts can be sensitive; mutation tools should remain disabled unless required.
Risk context	Scanning shares source-derived findings with the MCP client and may consume substantial local resources.
