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