A side-by-side look at the Glif MCP Server and Uploadcheck MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Glif MCP Server for multimedia process work over a hosted endpoint; choose Uploadcheck for multimedia process as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
UPLOADCHECK_API_BASE_URL, UPLOADCHECK_API_KEY.qc_estimate_cost, qc_run_local_file, qc_run_video.Rows where the two servers differ are marked.
