MCP Comparison
Compare features, tools, and capabilities of these MCP servers side by side.
plugged.in MCP Hub — Proxy · Knowledge · Memory · Tools
The plugged.in MCP Proxy Server operates as a central hub that aggregates multiple Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers into a single, unified interface. It orchestrates knowledge, memory, and tools across connected MCPs, enabling clients to query documents, manage memory, and invoke tools from various servers through one connection. With support for STDIO, Server-Sent Events (SSE), and Streamable HTTP transports, it enables seamless integration with popular MCP clients like Claude Desktop, Cline, and Cursor while providing policy, telemetry, and registry features for scalable deployments. This proxy fetches tool, prompt, and resource configurations from the plugged.in App APIs and exposes a unified catalog of capabilities. It supports static built-in tools, memory clipboard operations, and dynamic tools discovered from connected MCP servers, including tool discovery, RAG-based search, document management, and notifications. The hub also offers configuration options for HTTP transport, authentication, and session management, making it possible to run as a stateless HTTP service or a stateful STDIO proxy, with optional API-key protection for HTTP endpoints.
NCP - Natural Context Provider (NCP)
NCP is a unified MCP platform that consolidates 50+ tools, skills, and Photons into a single, intelligent interface. It enables code-mode execution, on-demand loading, scheduling, and semantic tool discovery, dramatically reducing token usage and latency while enabling AI assistants to work with external MCPs, skills, and Photons. This documentation covers how NCP works, the available MCPs and tools, installation and integration steps for popular clients (Claude Desktop, VS Code, and more), and practical examples that demonstrate how to find, run, and compose tools across MCPs. Whether you’re building with internal MCPs or exploring external tools, NCP provides a scalable, vendor-agnostic foundation for AI-powered automation and tool orchestration.
