Which MCP Server Should You Choose?
C
Choose Catalog when:
You need dedicated capabilities in the Developer Tools domain.
You prefer local stdio subprocess transport architecture.
Your security boundary fits: No auth required (Free / Open Source).
All MFOs in the catalog with borrower rating and canonical card URLs. `rating: null` means *no reviews yet*, not a low score.
get_mfo
Full MFO card: terms for new and repeat clients (amount, term, rate), effective annual rate (ГЭСВ), requirements, fees, legal data (legal entity, BIN, ARDFM license number and a direct link to the company's record in the regulator's license register), 4-criteria rating, record update date.
search_offers
Matching first-loan offers with terms and `first_loan_zero_percent: true/false/null` (null = unconfirmed). Calling without filters returns the whole catalog — prefer passing `amount`/`term_days`.
list_categories
Catalog selections grouped by section (popular, by payout method, by amount and term, by borrower category), each with its selection criterion.
get_category
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
Catalog is categorized under Developer Tools and uses a local stdio subprocess. In contrast, UI5 MCP Server belongs to Developer Tools using local stdio subprocess. Select Catalog when you need capabilities focused on developer tools and UI5 MCP Server when you require tools for developer tools.
One selection: criterion, sorting, offer table with per-MFO terms.
