A side-by-side look at the Ca Medical Exclusions and Vascue Public Knowledge Search MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Ca Medical Exclusions for biology & bioinformatics work as a local process; choose Vascue Public Knowledge Search for biology & bioinformatics over a hosted endpoint. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
