Which MCP Server Should You Choose?
I
Choose Itamos MCP Tools when:
You need dedicated capabilities in the Developer Tools domain.
You prefer remote streaming HTTP/SSE transport architecture.
Your security boundary fits: No auth required (Free / Open Source).
You have access to required keys: SANDBOX_ROOT, SANDBOX_TOTAL_SLOTS.
The single entry point. With no path it lists your projects; a project name shows its structure with coordinates (no code); a coordinate opens a file map or one segment in a single call. Edits one segment at a time, and every save is verified automatically.
master_architect
The engine behind read_file. Indexes the codebase into a graph (files, imports, databases, servers) and keeps it in step with every save. In the sandbox it is not called directly: read_file does it.
write_file
Creates new files only and never overwrites; edits go through read_file. Every new file belongs to a project the agent names: an existing one, or a new name to start one. Nothing is placed automatically.
git
The original Itamos git tool, sandboxed for security: clone (remote URLs only, depth=1), status, commit. A clone is scanned into a project as soon as it finishes. Everything stays inside the session workspace; push is not available.
web_skeleton
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
Itamos MCP Tools is categorized under Developer Tools and uses a remote streaming HTTP/SSE transport. In contrast, UI5 MCP Server belongs to Developer Tools using local stdio subprocess. Select Itamos MCP Tools when you need capabilities focused on developer tools and UI5 MCP Server when you require tools for developer tools.
