A side-by-side look at the Roslyn Codelens MCP and Llmkit MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Roslyn Codelens MCP for monitoring work as a local process; choose Llmkit for monitoring as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
LLMKIT_API_KEY.Rows where the two servers differ are marked.
