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