No Crd vs Anythink Cli
A side-by-side look at the No Crd and Anythink Cli MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose No Crd for cloud platforms work as a local process; choose Anythink Cli for cloud platforms as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
Which MCP server should you choose?
Choose No Crd when
- You need dedicated capabilities in the Cloud Platforms domain.
- You prefer a local stdio subprocess transport.
Choose Anythink Cli when
- You need dedicated capabilities in the Cloud Platforms domain.
- You prefer a local stdio subprocess transport.
- Its auth model fits you: other.
- You want tools like
config_use, projects_delete, login_direct.

Anythink Cli tools 16
config_useSwitch the active project profile that the 'cli' tool's commands operate against. Use this to move between already-connected projects without re-authenticating. The profile must already exist (created by 'projects_use' or 'login_direct'); run 'config_show' to see available profile names. Returns confirmation, or an error if the profile does not exist.projects_deletePermanently delete a project and tear down its backend instance, including its database and stored data. This is destructive and irreversible — always confirm with the user first, and prefer matching by a specific id over a short prefix to avoid removing the wrong project. Requires an active billing account (set one with 'accounts_use'). Returns the deleted project's name and id on success.login_directStore credentials directly for a project (bypasses billing login). Use this when you already have an org ID and API key or JWT token.projects_useConnect to a project and save it as the active profile so the 'cli' tool's data, entities, users, and other commands target it. Resolves the project, then either stores the API key you pass or exchanges a transfer token for project-scoped credentials automatically. Requires an active billing account (set one with 'accounts_use'); the project must be Active (see 'projects_list'). Returns the saved profile name, org id, API URL, and auth method.logoutRemove the saved credentials for a project profile from local CLI config. Use this to disconnect from a project or clear a stale token; it deletes only the stored profile locally and does not revoke the token server-side or affect the project. Omit the profile to remove the currently active one. Run 'config_show' to see profile names.signupRegister a brand-new Anythink platform account with email and password. Use this only when the user has no account yet; if they already have one, use 'login' instead. This creates the top-level user identity — it does not create a billing account or project (do that with 'accounts_create' and 'projects_create' after logging in). On success the user may need to click an email confirmation link before 'login' works; tell them to confirm, then call 'login'.accounts_createCreate a new billing account (organization) to hold projects and payment details. Requires a prior platform login (use the 'login' tool first). The new account is automatically set as the active account, so subsequent 'projects_create' / 'projects_list' calls target it without further setup. Returns the new account's id and name. Most users need only one account — call 'accounts_list' first to check whether a suitable one already exists.config_removeDelete a saved project profile from the local CLI configuration. Removes only the locally stored credentials and settings — it does not delete the project or revoke tokens server-side (to remove the project itself, use 'projects_delete'). Run 'config_show' to see profile names. Returns confirmation, or a not-found message.projects_listList the projects (provisioned backend instances) in a billing account. Requires platform login and an active billing account (set one with 'accounts_use'). Returns each project's id, name, description, region, org id, status (Initializing/Provisioning/Active/Suspended/Terminated/Error), API URL, and creation date. Use this to find a project's id before connecting with 'projects_use' or removing it with 'projects_delete'.loginLog in to the Anythink platform with email and password. Returns a session token used for account and project management. For Google sign-in, use the 'login_google' tool.accounts_useSet the active billing account that project commands operate on. Call this after 'login' when you belong to more than one account, before using 'projects_list', 'projects_create', or 'projects_use'. Accepts a full account UUID or a unique prefix; run 'accounts_list' to see valid ids. Returns the resolved account name and id, or an error if no account matches.login_googleSign in to the Anythink platform with Google. Opens the user's browser to Google's consent screen and waits for them to approve, then stores the session token. The browser step must be completed by the user; everything before and after is tool-driven. This does NOT pick a billing account or project — after it returns, call 'accounts_list' then 'accounts_use', and 'projects_list' then 'projects_use'. Needs a local browser, so it only works over stdio (not the hosted HTTP server).- +4 more on the listing page

Frequently asked questions
No Crd is categorized under Cloud Platforms and uses a local stdio subprocess. Anythink Cli belongs to Cloud Platforms and uses a local stdio subprocess. Pick No Crd for cloud platforms work and Anythink Cli for cloud platforms.
Copy the mcpServers block from the config section on this page into your client's config (for example claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json), then fully restart the client.
No Crd has no declared pricing — check the project's own site. Anythink Cli is listed as freemium — a free tier with paid plans. Auth: other. If a server needs environment variables such as API keys, define them under the env key in your client's MCP config.
Yes. MCP clients support multiple servers: add no-crd and anythink-cloud-anythink-cli as separate keys in the same mcpServers object, and your assistant will call tools from either one.
