Side-by-Side Model Context Protocol Comparison
Clauses vs Hub MCP
In-depth architectural comparison of the Clauses and Hub MCP MCP servers. Compare execution transports, security boundaries, tool capabilities, quality scores, and ready-to-paste client installation snippets for Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.
At a Glance & Executive Verdict
Clauses
Developer Tools · Local stdio
Quality: 55/100 (Good) | Auth: No auth required
Hub MCP
Developer Tools · Remote HTTP/SSE
Quality: 76/100 (Great) | Auth: API Key required
Verdict Summary: Choose Clauses if you need specialized Developer Tools tools running via a local process. Choose Hub MCP if your workspace requires Developer Tools integration with remote web transport. Both servers can be configured concurrently in your client's mcpServers manifest.
Which MCP Server Should You Choose?
C
Choose Clauses 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).
Save a reusable clause: title, body with `{{variables}}`, category, tags, optional jurisdiction and language
clause_get
Return one clause in full, by id or by title (a partial title matches)
clause_update
Change the text, category, tags, variables or jurisdiction. In Pro the previous text is kept as a version
clause_delete
Remove a clause. A deleted starter is not re-seeded on the next call
clause_list
List every clause, in assembly order, optionally narrowed to one category
clause_search
Ranked search over titles, tags, categories and bodies. A title match outranks a body mention; a term matches on a real word boundary ("fee" never matches inside "coffee"), with plain substring containment kept only as a lower-ranked fallback. The jurisdiction filter is free (citing a clause from t…
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).
Clauses is categorized under Developer Tools and uses a local stdio subprocess. In contrast, Hub MCP belongs to Developer Tools using remote streaming HTTP/SSE transport. Select Clauses when you need capabilities focused on developer tools and Hub MCP when you require tools for developer tools.
Bulk-load from a markdown file (`## Title`, `category:` / `tags:` lines, blank line, body) or from JSON (Pro). Only short, field-shaped lines right after the title are read as metadata, so body prose that happens to open with a word like "note:" is kept as body, not swallowed
clause_export
Write the whole library to markdown (free) or JSON (Pro). An existing destination is never replaced unless you pass `overwrite: true
contract_assemble
Build a document from clause ids or whole categories: orders the clauses, numbers them, fills the variables, brackets what is missing, prepends the not-legal-advice line, writes `.docx` or `.md`. An existing `out_path` is never replaced unless you pass `overwrite: true
variables_list
Every `{{variable}}` a selection of clauses needs, and which clause needs it, before you assemble
license_status
Show free or Pro mode
license_activate
Activate a Pro key (verified offline)
Hub MCP Tools (35)
