A side-by-side look at the Hledger MCP and Sec Filing Analyzer MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Hledger MCP for finance & fintech work as a local process; choose Sec Filing Analyzer for finance & fintech over a hosted endpoint. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
