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