A side-by-side look at the Hevy MCP Server and Nflverse MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Hevy MCP Server for sports work as a local process; choose Nflverse for sports as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
