MCP Comparison
Compare features, tools, and capabilities of these MCP servers side by side.
IO Aerospace MCP Server
IO Aerospace MCP Server is a production-ready Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed for aerospace and astrodynamics calculations. It exposes a rich set of tools for celestial body ephemeris, orbital mechanics, DSN ground station operations, solar system object properties, and comprehensive unit and time system conversions. Built on the IO Aerospace Astrodynamics framework, this server delivers core algorithms for ephemerides, geometry, and time systems, enabling developers to integrate advanced aerospace calculations into local or hosted deployments. The project supports both modern streamable-HTTP transport and legacy SSE/STDIO configurations, with self-hosting options via Docker or native .NET deployments for flexible integration into existing ecosystems.
MCP Server Templates (Legacy)
MCP Server Templates (Legacy) is a flexible platform that provides Docker and Kubernetes backends, a lightweight CLI (mcpt), and client utilities for seamless MCP integration. It enables you to spin up servers from templates, route requests through a single endpoint with load balancing, and support both deployed (HTTP) and local (stdio) transports — all with sensible defaults and YAML-based configs. This legacy variant lays the groundwork for MCP integrations, while offering a clear upgrade path to the newer MCP Platform. The project emphasizes migration guidance to keep existing configurations working as you move to enhanced architecture and capabilities.
