Comparison
Local MCP Gateway vs Hosted MCP Platform
Compare local MCP gateway workflows with hosted MCP platforms for credentials, permissions, latency, tool scope, and coding-agent automation.
Short Version
Hosted platforms centralize integration auth and operations. A local KosmoKrator gateway keeps credentials, policy, and execution close to the developer workspace.
| Area | KosmoKrator | Hosted MCP platforms |
|---|---|---|
| Primary shape | Local terminal coding agent, headless CLI, MCP gateway, ACP, Lua, PHP SDK. | Depends on the product; usually a focused client, hosted service, or framework. |
| Integration runtime | Local CLI, Lua, and MCP surfaces backed by generated integration metadata. | Often hosted, client-specific, or not the primary focus. |
| Credential location | Local KosmoKrator configuration and project policy. | Varies by product and deployment model. |
| Best fit | Developer workstations, local automation, CI commands, scoped MCP gateways, and coding-agent workflows. | Use when its native workflow or hosted platform is the better fit. |
