Side-by-side MCP evidence comparison
Evidence field	Task MasterWatchlist candidate	Notion MCPMCP100 Selected
Task fit
Best for	Software teams using Task Master for AI-assisted project/task planning inside MCP-capable editors.	Reading and updating explicitly shared Notion pages Markdown-oriented page workflows Teams able to create a dedicated least-privilege integration
Not ideal for	Users who need a broadly proven, low-risk, fully mature Selected-grade integration today.	Whole-workspace access without page scoping Stable local-server APIs with no migration monitoring Workflows that only need occasional manual Notion lookup
Avoid when	Avoid high-impact or sensitive production use unless the documented authentication, permissions, rollback, and data handling match your environment.	Sensitive workspace content cannot be exposed to the connected model/client You cannot create a dedicated read-only integration or restrict page access You depend on removed pre-2.0 database tool names

Client coverage note	Local stdio runs on your computer. Streamable HTTP connects to a remotely hosted MCP server.
Access and data
Authentication	Uses configured model-provider API keys; supported Claude Code/Codex CLI paths can use their OAuth/session authentication.	The supported hosted service uses OAuth. The documented local server uses NOTION_TOKEN or OPENAPI_MCP_HEADERS; HTTP transport has a separate bearer token and supports carefully configured per-request Notion token passthrough.
Cost	Task Master is open source; configured model-provider usage may be billable.	The local server is MIT licensed. A Notion account and workspace plan are required, and Notion plan/API limits apply; hosted MCP-specific charges were not established in the reviewed materials.
Permissions	Can read/write Task Master project state and invoke AI providers; tool exposure depends on `TASK_MASTER_TOOLS` (core is the documented default).	Local access is limited by the Notion integration capabilities and pages connected to that integration. Read-only capability is available; write-capable tools can create or update workspace content. Local HTTP transport requires bearer authentication unless an explicitly unsafe flag disables it.
Data handling	PRDs, task data and prompts may be sent to the configured model provider(s).	Page/database content accessible to the integration can be returned to the MCP client and model. The local server calls Notion APIs; hosted Notion MCP additionally processes requests through Notion's remote service.
Limitations
Tradeoffs	Project write authority plus provider credentials/tool-surface configuration require stronger governance evidence for Selected.	Hosted OAuth is actively supported and easier; the local repository warns it may be sunset. Write capability enables useful edits but raises deletion, overwrite, and prompt-injection risk. Version 2 changed database operations to data-source tools, requiring updates to hardcoded prompts.
Risk context	Project write authority plus provider credentials/tool-surface configuration require stronger governance evidence for Selected.	Workspace content may be read or modified within the integration's reach. Use a dedicated integration, Read content only where possible, explicitly connect only needed pages, avoid unsafe HTTP auth disabling, and monitor hosted/local migration guidance.
