API Governance vs ZapSign
A side-by-side look at the API Governance and ZapSign MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose API Governance for agreements & coordination work as a local process; choose ZapSign for agreements & coordination over a hosted endpoint. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
Which MCP server should you choose?
Choose API Governance when
- You need dedicated capabilities in the Agreements & Coordination domain.
- You prefer a local stdio subprocess transport.
- You have the keys it needs:
CODERIFTS_API_KEY. - You want tools like
preflight_change_set, verify_receipt, get_decision_details.
Choose ZapSign when
- You need dedicated capabilities in the Agreements & Coordination domain.
- You prefer a remote HTTP/SSE transport.
- You want tools like
zapsign_list_accounts, zapsign_documents_list, zapsign_documents_get.

Tools & capabilities
API Governance tools 3
preflight_change_setPreflight a complete base→head change set of contract artifacts. Returns risk score and breaking-change analysis. With `preflight_mode: "authorize"` (and `context.operation`), returns a governance decision (ALLOW / WARN / REQUIRE_APPROVAL / BLOCK) and may mint a signed chain-receipt. With `prefligh…verify_receiptVerify a signed chain-receipt you already hold: signature authenticity, body binding, and (when lifecycle indices are available) whether it is currently authorized for a stated operation/target. Requires `token`. Does not re-diff specs.get_decision_detailsRetrieve a past decision by `decision_id` (preferred) or `fingerprint`: stored report, breaking changes, scores, and linked receipt metadata if present. Not for a new analysis of the current change set.
