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