A side-by-side look at the Moxie Docs MCP and Twelve Permissions MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Moxie Docs MCP for knowledge & memory work as a local process; choose Twelve Permissions for developer tools over a hosted endpoint. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
moxie.get_ai_context, moxie.get_doc_impact, moxie.get_api_context.Rows where the two servers differ are marked.
