A side-by-side look at the SEOcrawl AI and Web Validator by DigestSEO MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose SEOcrawl AI for security work over a hosted endpoint; choose Web Validator by DigestSEO for security as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
PUPPETEER_CACHE_DIR.html.local, html.url, css.local.Rows where the two servers differ are marked.
