A side-by-side look at the ComplyEdge TrustLint and JSON Contracts MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose ComplyEdge TrustLint for legal work as a local process; choose JSON Contracts for legal as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
COMPLYEDGE_API_KEY.JSON_CONTRACTS_DIR.list_contracts, read_contract, get_json_contract.Rows where the two servers differ are marked.
