A side-by-side look at the 4da MCP Server and MCP Virustotal MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose 4da MCP Server for security work as a local process; choose MCP Virustotal for security as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
