MCP Comparison
Compare features, tools, and capabilities of these MCP servers side by side.
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.
OpenMCP
OpenMCP is a dual-purpose framework: a standard for converting web APIs into MCP servers and an open-source registry of servers that follow that standard. Each OpenMCP server exposes a token-efficient MCP interface that enables MCP clients to make requests to a target web API on behalf of users. Together, the servers in the registry enable client LLMs to fetch data and perform actions across a broad set of domains, providing a scalable, interoperable way to integrate external services with MCP clients. The documentation guides you through creating a server, adding it to MCP clients, and converting various web API formats into OpenMCP-compatible servers, covering REST, gRPC, JSON-RPC, GraphQL, SOAP, and PostgREST variants.
