A side-by-side look at the Sql Query MCP and Thinair Data MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Sql Query MCP for databases work as a local process; choose Thinair Data for databases as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
SQL_QUERY_MCP_CONFIG.list_connections, describe_schema, query_sql.Rows where the two servers differ are marked.
