In-depth architectural comparison of the Hub MCP and MCP Server Wheel Size 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
Hub MCP
Developer Tools · Remote HTTP/SSE
Quality: 77/100 (Great) | Auth: API Key required
MCP Server Wheel Size
Developer Tools · Local stdio
Quality: 53/100 (Good) | Auth: No auth required
Verdict Summary: Choose Hub MCP if you need specialized Developer Tools tools running via a hosted cloud SSE transport. Choose MCP Server Wheel Size if your workspace requires Developer Tools integration with local subprocess execution. Both servers can be configured concurrently in your client's mcpServers manifest.
Which MCP Server Should You Choose?
Choose Hub MCP when:
You need dedicated capabilities in the Developer Tools domain.
You prefer remote streaming HTTP/SSE transport architecture.
Your security boundary fits: API Key required (Free / Open Source).
You have access to required keys: HUB_PAT_TOKEN, MCP_AUTH_TOKEN.
Hub MCP is categorized under Developer Tools and uses a remote streaming HTTP/SSE transport. In contrast, MCP Server Wheel Size belongs to Developer Tools using local stdio subprocess. Select Hub MCP when you need capabilities focused on developer tools and MCP Server Wheel Size when you require tools for developer tools.

MCP Server Wheel Size Tools (32)
list-classified-rims
List aftermarket rim products compatible with a given rim fitment spec. Required: bolt_pattern, rim_diameter (inches), rim_width (inches), rim_offset (ET mm). Optional: cb, fd, fitment tolerances (fs_poke, bs_push, od_tolerance, ow_tolerance), diameter_range, sort, limit, offset. Returns rim produc…
list-generations
List all body generations for a given make/model/year combination. Returns generation slugs (e.g., "b9" for Audi A4 2020) used as the "generation" input for list-modifications and classified tools.
list-hf-tire-overall-diameters
List all overall diameter values (inches) for high-flotation (HF) tyres, optionally filtered by region. HF tyres use the imperial size format: OD x SW R RD (e.g. 33x12.5R15). Common on pickup trucks and off-road vehicles. Use this to discover valid overall_diameter values for search-by-hf-tire.
list-hf-tire-rim-diameters
List all rim diameters (inches) available for HF tyres, optionally filtered by overall diameter and section width. Use this to discover valid rim_diameter values for search-by-hf-tire.
list-hf-tire-section-widths
List all section widths (in inches) for HF tyres, optionally filtered by overall diameter and region. Note: section_width is in INCHES for HF tyres (e.g. 12.5), unlike standard tyre tools where it is in mm.
list-makes
List all vehicle manufacturers (makes) available in a given market region. Returns slugs used as the "make" input for subsequent tools. Make availability is region-dependent, the same brand may have different slugs across markets.
list-models
List all vehicle models for a given make and year. Returns slugs used as the "model" input for list-generations, list-modifications, and search-by-model.
list-modifications
List all trim/engine modifications for a given make/model/year/generation. Useful for drilling into specific engine variants before querying fitment data.
list-regions
List all available market region codes (e.g., "eudm" for Europe, "usdm" for North America, "jdm" for Japan). Region codes are required inputs for list-makes, search-by-model, and wheel-upsteps. Start here when region is unknown.
list-rim-bolt-patterns
List all bolt patterns (PCD) available in the database, optionally filtered by rim dimensions and centre bore range. Bolt pattern format: stud-count × circle-diameter in mm (e.g. "5x112"). Use this to discover valid bolt_pattern values before calling search-by-rim.
list-rim-centre-bores
List all centre bore (CB) values available, optionally filtered by rim dimensions, offset range, and bolt pattern. Centre bore is the diameter of the hole in the wheel centre in mm (e.g. 66.5). Use this to discover valid cb values for search-by-rim.
list-rim-diameters
List all rim diameters (in inches) available in the database, optionally filtered by bolt pattern and region. Use this to discover valid rim_diameter values before calling search-by-rim.
