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.
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 Note that this MCP server is a reference implementation and is no longer actively maintained; for production workloads, Pipedream recommends using the remote MCP server, which offers hosted reliability and scaling.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.
