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