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.
Pipedream MCP Server
Pipedream MCP Server is a reference implementation for self-hosting a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. It showcases how to manage and serve MCP-based apps and tools in your own environment, providing you with a way to run MCP servers locally or within your organization. Note that this MCP server is a reference implementation and is no longer actively maintained; for production workloads, Pipedream recommends using the remote MCP server, which offers hosted reliability and scaling. The server supports two primary modes and integrates with Pipedream Connect for authentication and API management, enabling automatic app discovery and credential storage with enterprise-grade security.
