A side-by-side look at the Vtimestamp Write and Scrivener MCP MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Vtimestamp Write for cryptography work as a local process; choose Scrivener MCP for knowledge & memory as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
VERUS_CONF_PATH, VERUS_RPC_URL, VERUS_RPC_USER, VERUS_RPC_PASSWORD.InvalidParams.Rows where the two servers differ are marked.
