A side-by-side look at the Fl Medical Exclusions and Costkits MCP MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Fl Medical Exclusions for biology & bioinformatics work as a local process; choose Costkits MCP for biology & bioinformatics as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
COSTKITS_API_KEY, COSTKITS_API_BASE.demo_estimate, resolve_procedure, estimate_procedure_cost.Rows where the two servers differ are marked.
