Why the edge:
- Agent ergonomics, Fullstory +22: Basedash MCP 55 (Ten tools, grouped by the vendor into ask, build and look up. Their definitions' size couldn't be measured without a session, so 20 of 25 rather than 25. No paging, filters or size controls are documented for `list_dashboards` or `list_charts`; `ask_question` returns tables as CSV files rather than inline rows, and the client can page through the tool list, per the changelog of 14 August 2026 (5 of 20). The troubleshooting section names Forbidden or not-a-member, usage blocked and not-found or archived artifacts with what to do, and `ask_question` and `get_data_sources` return typed structured payloads since 5 June 2026 (10 of 20). `edit_dashboard` is annotated destructive and a failed dashboard or chart build is cleaned up, but no readOnlyHint on the look-up tools or idempotency on the create tools is documented (10 of 20). One or two required inputs per tool and nothing to install; the only official SDK is the React embedding SDK, which isn't for MCP (10 of 15). Total 55.); Fullstory 77 (Session context calls take event and duration limits and include or exclude lists by event type, and List Sessions takes `limit` (18 of 25). `page_token` paging on users and batch results, and filters on users. List Sessions returns one page only, as its reference says (14). Errors are JSON with a snake-case `code` documented as safe to handle in code, such as `session_page_limit_exceeded` (17). `Idempotency-Key` on every create call, with body comparison and 24-hour expiry. MCP tool annotations were not read (20). Create Event needs a name and one identifier and timestamps default to server time. The only official server SDK found is Node, last published 12 February 2024 (8). Total 77.)
- Payments & pricing, Basedash MCP +7: Basedash MCP 32 (No x402, MPP or L402 (0). Plan prices are public, $1,000 a month for Startup with $1,000 of AI credits included, but the cost of an MCP question in AI usage isn't published (10). A 14-day trial needs no card, includes up to $250 of AI usage and has the MCP server, since it's on every plan and the trial has full feature access (20). A person signs up in a browser and approves the OAuth connection; clients can register themselves with the authorisation server, which earns 2 (2 of 20). Total 32.); Fullstory 25 (No x402, MPP or L402 (0). The plans page names Business, Advanced and Enterprise with no price and a Request pricing button. Only the free plan's limits are public (5). FullstoryFree needs no card per the plans page, re-read on 2 November, and the help centre lists API keys as available on it (20). A person signs up in a browser and creates the key in settings (0). Total 25.)
- Transparency & trust, Fullstory +7: Basedash MCP 74 (The editorial half. A closed service under dated terms (14 October 2026) naming Basedash Inc. and Delaware law, with 30 days' notice of material adverse changes to the agreement (15). The privacy policy (1 June 2026), the data processing addendum (6 October 2026) and the security docs agree that customer data isn't used for training by Basedash or its AI providers, and the security docs say table and column names and query results go to AI providers. Retention periods differ by document. The privacy policy says a reasonable period, the terms 60 days after a deletion request, the security docs complete removal on request, and audit events are kept 90 days. Locations differ in wording (San Francisco servers in the security docs, DigitalOcean in the United States in the privacy policy) (18 of 30). No deprecation policy for the MCP server; the REST API is unversioned and breaking changes are communicated in advance when possible, and the dashboard scopes were granted to existing connections without re-authorising (8 of 20). The DPA names ten subprocessors (OpenAI, Sentry, Stripe, DigitalOcean, Anthropic, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Fivetran, MotherDuck, Betterstack) in the United States and the Czech Republic (16 of 20). Total 57.); Fullstory 81 (Closed service under a published master services agreement (20 May 2026), with the skills repository and Node SDK under MIT (15). The DPA gives 30 days to retrieve data after termination and deletion within six months. The free plan keeps 12 months of data. The MSA lets Fullstory use data that doesn't identify the customer to improve the service, and the free plan terms add model training on de-identified data (24). A breaking-changes page says such changes ship as a new major version. No notice period or end date for v1 was found (8). Sub-processor list updated 2 June 2026 with locations, Google in the United States and Germany, and no location given for OpenAI, which is marked optional (18). Total 65.)
- Reliability, Basedash MCP +5: Basedash MCP 70 (Graded with the hosted lines, on the remote server at charts.basedash.com. Instatus status page at status.basedash.com with one component, App, and notices back to April 2021; the MCP server isn't a separate component (20). No notices since 14 March 2026 and 100.0 per cent shown for September, October and November 2026, so the last 90 days are clean (30). No rate limit is published for the MCP server. The public API allows 60 requests a minute by default, per the changelog of 7 August 2026, which we count in part since the MCP surface may differ (5 of 15). The OpenAPI file documents a 429 with `RateLimitExceeded` and `retryAfterMs` on all 91 operations and an `Idempotency-Key` on starting a chat, but nothing is documented for 429s or retries over MCP (5 of 15). No uptime SLA; the about page names priority support SLAs on Enterprise only (0). The server isn't labelled beta or preview and is on both paid plans (10). Total 70.); Fullstory 65 (Graded on the Server API with the hosted lines. Statuspage site at status.fullstory.com with per-region components, API among them (20). Read from its own history and incident pages on 2 November (the 8 October count came from the Statuspage API, which this run doesn't read, and is replaced). From 4 August to 2 November, on 1 September a Google Cloud fault took every NA1 service, the API included, out from 11:19 to 16:32 Eastern time (labelled critical, about five hours). That is all of NA1 at once, Fullstory's default data centre, so it's read as one major, as vapi's and google-drive-api's regional outages are. The other incidents in the window don't touch the API (EU1 playback on 23 September, NA1 Warehouse delays on 18 August, Guides and Surveys on 6 August) or name a subset of organisations (delayed session data on 7 September) (10). The general limit on the Server API has no published number. Batch imports do (50,000 requests a batch, 429 at 200 batches or 500,000 operations in progress), and the MCP server allows 3 requests a second with a burst of 20, re-read on 2 November (10 of 15). 429 responses carry `Retry-After`, and every create call accepts an `Idempotency-Key` kept for 24 hours (15). No SLA was found in the master services agreement of 20 May 2026 (0). The v2 Server API is generally available (10). 20 + 10 + 10 + 15 + 0 + 10 = 65.)
- Schema & documentation, Fullstory +5: Basedash MCP 57 (The served tool definitions can be read only in a signed-in MCP session, which this run doesn't open. The docs and feature page list all ten tools with their inputs, which are required or optional, their scopes, what each returns and which one is annotated destructive, and the REST API counterpart has a public OpenAPI 3.1.0 file (50 paths, 91 operations). Judgement call, 10 of 25 for documented inputs without published JSON Schemas. llms.txt and Markdown copies of every docs page are served (10). Each tool's purpose is stated, with when to use MCP over the REST API and `get_data_sources` described as the call to make before asking; when not to call a build tool isn't stated (12 of 20). Inputs are a free-text `question` or `instructions` plus ids, with no enums or constraints documented (5 of 15). Example questions on the feature page and the launch posts, and troubleshooting for Forbidden or not-a-member, usage blocked and not-found errors, but no error payload shapes (10 of 15). A public dated changelog with MCP entries on 5 June, 14 August, 4 and 25 September and 7 and 9 October 2026, and a server.json version (1.1.0), but the registry entry is still 1.0.0 and the llms.txt of 7 October 2026 still describes two tools (10 of 15). Total 57.); Fullstory 62 (Each reference page carries the OpenAPI operation it is drawn from, with schemas, security and a permission level. No single downloadable spec was found on the docs site, and the swagger files in the Node SDK repository cover users and events only and date from 2024. The MCP tool schemas need a login we don't have (15 of 25). `llms.txt` returns 404 on 2 November and no Markdown copies were found (0). Descriptions state purpose and limits and say when another route fits better, such as Warehouse for export (15). Types, formats, required fields and enumerated event types are declared, with a free-form `properties` object (11). Request and response examples on each page, and 400, 401, 403, 404, 429 and 500 documented with a `code` and `message` (13). Paths are versioned and a breaking-changes page defines what forces a new major version, but the only changelog is for the browser script (8). Total 62.)
- Maintenance & community, Basedash MCP +5: Basedash MCP 75 (Read as a closed hosted service. The changelog's latest entry is 30 October 2026, and the latest MCP-specific entries are 7 and 9 October 2026 (chart placement on a dashboard tab, restyled MCP sign-in pages), all within 30 days (30). Weekly dated changelog entries, with MCP changes on 14 August, 4 and 25 September and 7 and 9 October 2026 (20). Support by email and by Slack on paid plans, with response times not tested (10 of 15). Active in the official MCP registry as com.basedash/mcp under the reverse-DNS namespace for basedash.com, though its description still names two tools (15). No package to judge; the registry entry lags the repository's server.json (0 of 10). Total 75.); Fullstory 70 (The Server API has no changelog of its own. The vendor's dated sources count, the browser script changelog (latest entry 26 October 2026) and the official Claude plugin in the fullstory-skills repository, bumped to 0.2.1 on 22 October and 0.2.2 on 29 October 2026 (30). Thirteen browser script entries between 4 August and 26 October 2026, plus the two plugin versions (20). A public changelog for the capture script, a help centre community and a Slack community named in the MCP docs. Response times were not checked (8). The Node server client is 1.1.1 from 12 February 2024, and the MCP registry could not be reached (8). No CI workflow in the Node SDK repository (4). 30 + 20 + 8 + 8 + 4 = 70.)
