MCP Comparison
Compare features, tools, and capabilities of these MCP servers side by side.
MetaMCP
MetaMCP is a MCP proxy that lets you dynamically aggregate MCP servers into a unified MCP server, and apply middlewares. MetaMCP itself is a MCP server so it can be easily plugged into ANY MCP clients. It functions as an MCP Aggregator, Orchestrator, Middleware, and Gateway all in one docker image, enabling scalable, configurable hosting of multiple MCP servers behind a single endpoint with flexible authentication, tooling, and annotations. This README introduces core concepts such as MCP Server configurations, Namespaces, Endpoints, Middleware, Inspector, and Tool Overrides & Annotations, and provides quick-start guidance for running MetaMCP with Docker, building a development environment, and integrating with clients like Claude Desktop via proxies. It also covers MCP protocol compatibility, authentication options (including API keys, OAuth, and OIDC), and integration guidance for developers looking to remix MCP tool flows and middleware pipelines.
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).
