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

Accepts discs list or a BagIQ share link.detect_overlapDetects redundant molds occupying the same flight slot or shot role, ranking pairs by overlap severity and recommending which disc to keep vs cut. Accepts discs list or a BagIQ share link.recommend_bag_fillersSuggests the highest-rated discs to fill missing shot slots or close voids in the bag based on BagIQ matrix coordinates and DiscList ratings, with interactive 1-click 'Add to Bag' deep links. Accepts discs list or a BagIQ share link.build_minimal_bagExtracts an optimal 3-to-5 disc minimalist setup from a larger bag, maximizing shot coverage while detailing necessary compromises. Accepts discs list or a BagIQ share link.get_shared_bagRetrieves and inspects a player's saved disc golf bag from a BagIQ share link (e.g. 'https://app.bagiq.app/?s=4fisr8a7'), short share ID, or slug link. Returns the full disc breakdown with plastics, wear states, confidence ratings, slot coverage, and interactive BagIQ deep links.
