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.
Playwright MCP
Playwright MCP server. A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides browser automation capabilities using Playwright. This server enables large language models (LLMs) to interact with web pages through structured accessibility snapshots, bypassing the need for screenshots or visually-tuned models. The server is designed to be fast, lightweight, and deterministic, offering LLM-friendly tooling and a rich set of browser automation capabilities via MCP tools. It supports standalone operation, containerized deployments, and integration with a variety of MCP clients (Claude Desktop, VS Code, Copilot, Cursor, Goose, Windsurf, and others).
