A side-by-side look at the Gutsy and Glm MCP MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Gutsy for coding agents work as a local process; choose Glm MCP for coding agents as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
GUTSY_URL, GUTSY_INFERENCE_DIR, GUTSY_MODEL, GUTSY_PROCEED_MIN, GUTSY_BLOCK_MIN, GUTSY_API_KEY, GUTSY_HOOK_ALLOW_DENY.GLM_API_KEY.Rows where the two servers differ are marked.
