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