A side-by-side look at the Sonicake Pocket Master and Matter Controller MCP MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Sonicake Pocket Master for embedded system work as a local process; choose Matter Controller MCP for embedded system as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
PM_PORT, PM_DATA_DIR, PM_DEVICE_MAP, PM_DEBUG_TOOLS.device_state, rename_preset, list_user_slots.get_controller_status, commission_device, get_commissioned_devices.Rows where the two servers differ are marked.
