A side-by-side look at the Gate Authority Network and SandBase CLI MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Gate Authority Network for developer tools work; choose SandBase CLI for aggregators over a hosted endpoint. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
sandbase_discover, sandbase_inspect, sandbase_run.Rows where the two servers differ are marked.
