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	The server uses publisher-documented Sonar tokens or managed HTTP authentication.	Local scanning needs no remote credential; platform features use Semgrep 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	SonarQube or SonarCloud token permissions, toolsets, and read-only mode constrain accessible projects and actions.	Local filesystem scope and optional Semgrep AppSec Platform token permissions define accessible code and findings.
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	Source findings and code excerpts can be sensitive; mutation tools should remain disabled unless required.	Scanning shares source-derived findings with the MCP client and may consume substantial local resources.
Risk context	Source findings and code excerpts can be sensitive; mutation tools should remain disabled unless required. 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.	Scanning shares source-derived findings with the MCP client and may consume substantial local resources.
