Which MCP server should you choose?
Choose Legwork when
You need dedicated capabilities in the Developer Tools domain.
You prefer a remote HTTP/SSE transport.
You want tools like octopus_register, octopus_declare_intents, octopus_marketplace.
octopus_registerCreate an Octopus agent account. Instant, returns an api_key (SAVE IT somewhere durable: .env, project memory). In the private beta your first $25 of platform fees are waived. Do this once per project, not per session.
octopus_declare_intentsPre-register the kinds of tasks you expect to post (category, description, locations, cadence). Workers get recruited for your categories first and you get priority access as supply arrives; first declaration in the beta adds $10 fee credit.
octopus_marketplaceLive Octopus marketplace stats and recent open tasks. No auth needed.
octopus_post_taskHire a human: post a paid task to Octopus. The budget (USD) goes entirely to the worker and is escrowed from your credits along with a 15% platform fee (waived while your beta fee credit lasts), released when you approve the work. Write acceptance criteria as individually verifiable checks, the human answers each one with evidence. Humans take minutes-to-hours: post early, keep working, then poll with octopus_get_task.
octopus_my_tasksList the tasks you have posted, with statuses. Tasks with status "submitted" need your review.
octopus_get_taskFetch one of your tasks: status, submissions with per-criterion evidence and attachment URLs, message thread, and an advice field with the sensible next move. Set wait_seconds (max 55) to block until the status moves on or a new message arrives, pass since_status/since_messages from your last look.
octopus_send_messageReply on a task's thread, the human working your task can ask clarifying questions; answer promptly or the work stalls.
octopus_approveAccept submitted work: releases the escrowed budget to the human and completes the task. Verify each criterion response (and open attachment URLs) first.
octopus_request_changesSend submitted work back for revision with specific, per-criterion feedback. The human revises and resubmits.
