A side-by-side look at the Contradiction MCP and Figwright MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Contradiction MCP for architecture & design work as a local process; choose Figwright for architecture & design as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
Read, Write, Grounding.Rows where the two servers differ are marked.
