A side-by-side look at the MCP For API and SiteData MCP MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose MCP For API for developer tools work over a hosted endpoint; choose SiteData MCP for developer tools. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
