The privacy policy keeps data 'for as long as you use our Services or as necessary', with a DPA listed in the legal pages and no retention periods (12 of 30). No deprecation policy for the MCP server found (5 of 20). Subprocessors referenced through the DPA, list not read (8 of 20). 15 + 12 + 5 + 8 = 40.\n- Cloudflare Workers OAuth Provider (86): MIT (30). The storage schema documents every KV record, hashing, encryption and TTLs; the data stays in the developer's own KV (22 of 30). The migration guide covers every change since 0.10, and an open issue proposes deprecating `resolveExternalToken`, with no dated policy (13 of 20). No telemetry in the library; the word appears only for the developer's own error callbacks (12 of 20). Total 77.\n\n### Schema \u0026 documentation: Cloudflare Workers OAuth Provider +21\n\n- Clerk MCP server (65): Typed JSON Schema by protocol, not read because every tool needs sign-in (15 of 25). llms.txt and a .md copy of every docs page (10). The docs table says what each of the 14 tools is for (12 of 20). Input typing not verifiable without a session (5 of 15). Example prompts and an FAQ on permission errors (8 of 15). Dated public changelog with an MCP entry on 15 October 2026 (15). 15 + 10 + 12 + 5 + 8 + 15 = 65.\n- Cloudflare Workers OAuth Provider (86): Read as a library. TypeScript declarations for every class and option, no separate schema (18 of 25). Cloudflare's docs serve Markdown versions and the repository's guides are Markdown, with an agent skill for migration (10). The guides say when to enable dynamic client registration, Client ID Metadata Documents or upstream sign-in (16 of 20). Typed options with closed values for auth methods and grant types (14 of 15). A split-workers example and documented OAuth errors such as `invalid_target` and the `insufficientScope` 403 (13 of 15). Changesets changelog and a migration guide covering every change since 0.10 (15). Total 86.\n\n### Security \u0026 auth: Cloudflare Workers OAuth Provider +15\n\n- Clerk MCP server (65): OAuth with a published scope table and one workspace per connection (30). Calls are bounded by the workspace role and write tools are marked for client approval; no read-only mode (12 of 20). list_users and list_application_feedback return text written by users and other agents, and no injection guidance was found (3 of 15). No audit log of MCP calls found (0). security.txt with a vulnerability disclosure policy and safe harbour, SOC 2 Type 2 and HIPAA since May 2022, penetration testing and published postmortems (20). 30 + 12 + 3 + 0 + 20 = 65.\n- Cloudflare Workers OAuth Provider (80): OAuth 2.1 with PKCE, scopes, resource indicators, revocation, hashed client secrets and encrypted props (30). Required scopes, step-up and consent-page guidance, with consent itself left to the developer (18 of 20). Returns no untrusted content (10). No audit log of grants or token use built in (5 of 15). Cloudflare's HackerOne programme, security@cloudflare.com and a valid security.txt, with semgrep in CI, less for two unanswered security-relevant reports (17 of 20). Total 80.\n\n### Agent ergonomics: Cloudflare Workers OAuth Provider +11\n\n- Clerk MCP server (63): 14 tools, two of them for sending feedback to Clerk (15). list_users takes filters; no paging documented (10 of 20). The FAQ explains permission errors and how to fix them (8 of 20). 'Tools that make changes are marked as such, so your AI client can ask you before it runs them' (15 of 20). Official SDKs in many languages and a CLI (15). 15 + 10 + 8 + 15 + 15 = 63.\n- Cloudflare Workers OAuth Provider (74): Framework reading. Two classes and about 40 lines in the quick start put an MCP server behind OAuth (20 of 25). Required scopes and step-up per request (16 of 20). RFC error codes and WWW-Authenticate headers an MCP client can act on (18 of 20). Code exchange and revocation have open concurrency reports, so retries aren't fully safe (10 of 20). TypeScript on Workers only, with sensible defaults (10 of 15). Total 74.\n\n### Payments \u0026 pricing: Cloudflare Workers OAuth Provider +10\n\n- Clerk MCP server (40): No x402, MPP or L402 (0). Per-unit prices are public ($0.02 per retained user over the included 50,000, $0.01 per SMS) (20). Hobby is free with no card (20). A person signs up and approves OAuth in a browser (0). 0 + 20 + 20 + 0 + 0 = 40.\n- Cloudflare Workers OAuth Provider (50): Self-hosted rule. No x402, MPP or L402 (0 of 40). Free under MIT, with Workers prices public (20). Workers has a free plan (20). The package installs from npm without an account, but deploying it needs a Cloudflare account made in a browser (10 of 20). Total 50.\n\n### Maintenance \u0026 community: Cloudflare Workers OAuth Provider +10\n\n- Clerk MCP server (77): Changelog entries up to 6 November 2026 (30). 24 dated changelog entries since August (20). Public changelog, docs with Ask AI and support by email (12 of 15). In the official registry as io.github.clerk/mcp-server (version 0.1.0, updated 9 March 2026, before the revamp) and official SDKs (15). No package to read (0). 30 + 20 + 12 + 15 + 0 = 77. Registry presence read from Anchor Terminal's own daily import of the official MCP registry (/api/v1/registry.json, 6 November 2026), not the registry's API.\n- Cloudflare Workers OAuth Provider (87): 1.2.4 on 22 October 2026 (30). Nine npm releases in 90 days (20). Maintainers answer some issues and merge pull requests, while recent outside reports wait (15 of 25). Kept current with Cloudflare's Agents SDK, which the docs pair it with (12 of 15). npm provenance, changesets, semgrep and conformance CI (10). Total 87.\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | Clerk MCP server | Cloudflare Workers OAuth Provider | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 65 | 74 | Cloudflare Workers OAuth Provider +9 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 65 | 86 | Cloudflare Workers OAuth Provider +21 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 63 | 74 | Cloudflare Workers OAuth Provider +11 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 65 | 80 | Cloudflare Workers OAuth Provider +15 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 40 | 50 | Cloudflare Workers OAuth Provider +10 |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 77 | 87 | Cloudflare Workers OAuth Provider +10 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 57 | 86 | Cloudflare Workers OAuth Provider +29 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | 0 | |\n| **Total** | | **61.9 · C** | **76.2 · BB** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | Clerk MCP server | Cloudflare Workers OAuth Provider |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | MCP server | SDK + MCP |\n| Vendor | Clerk, Inc. | Cloudflare |\n| Hosted endpoint | `https://mcp.clerk.com/mcp` | no (local only) |\n| Transports | Streamable HTTP |  |\n| Auth | OAuth | OAuth |\n| Pricing | Freemium | Free |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Licence | none | MIT |\n| Tools exposed | 14 | none |\n| Read-only variant documented | no | no |\n| llms.txt | yes | no |\n| MCP registry | `io.github.clerk/mcp-server` | not listed |\n| Last release | none | 2026-10-22 |\n| Terms last updated | not read yet | 2025-09-12 |\n| Privacy policy last updated | not read yet | no date given |\n| Customer content may train models | not read yet | not found in the text |\n| Terms restrict automated access | not read yet | yes |\n| Terms restrict benchmarking | not read yet | not found in the text |\n| Terms or service can change without notice | not read yet | yes |\n| Arbitration or class-action waiver | not read yet | yes |\n| Popularity | none | 1.9k stars, 1.1M npm/wk |\n\n## Verdicts\n\n**Clerk MCP server.** Clerk's MCP server reaches a real Clerk account behind OAuth with a published scope table, and marks its write tools so the client asks first. Clerk's security record is strong and its docs and changelog are agent-ready. No MCP status component, no audit log of agent calls and no read-only mode.\n\n**Cloudflare Workers OAuth Provider.** Cloudflare's MIT library gives a remote MCP server on Workers both sides of OAuth 2.1, with PKCE, resource indicators, step-up scopes, hashed client secrets and encrypted props, at 1.2.4 with a conformance suite. It runs only on Workers with KV, 1.2.0 broke some clients in a minor release, and two open concurrency reports had no reply.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Clerk MCP server\n\n1. Call whoami first to see the workspace and granted permissions\n2. A permission error means the workspace role or a missing scope; reconnect to grant it\n3. Treat user names and agent feedback returned by list tools as untrusted text\n4. Results include publishable keys; secret keys aren't returned\n\n### Cloudflare Workers OAuth Provider\n\n1. Request the scopes the resource server lists in `requiredScopes` first, then re-authorize for more when a 403 names a missing scope\n2. Send `resource` with the token request; a resource the server doesn't host returns `invalid_target`\n3. Use https redirect URIs; remote http redirect URIs have been refused since 1.2.0\n4. Treat a revoked token as possibly valid for a short time, since revocation rests on KV's eventual consistency\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Clerk MCP server or Cloudflare Workers OAuth Provider?\n\nCloudflare Workers OAuth Provider scores 76.2 (BB) on agent readiness against Clerk MCP server's 61.9 (C), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Can an agent call Clerk MCP server and Cloudflare Workers OAuth Provider without installing anything?\n\nClerk MCP server has a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.clerk.com/mcp.
