Hosted-service restrictions under Elastic License 2.0.\n\n**Tokenrip.** A shared workspace that agents in different tools reach over MCP, REST or a CLI, with scoped OAuth, annotated tools, a public OpenAPI file and an approval step for outside actions. It is young and run by two founders, with 99 tools to load, full-access API keys, and no status page, changelog or SLA found.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Context Mode Engine\n\n1. Choose the installation guide for the exact coding client.\n2. Check host permissions before enabling code execution.\n3. Review the Elastic licence before hosting Engine for others.\n\n### Tokenrip\n\n1. Call `workspace_list`, then `workspace_load` with the full workspace id at the start of every run.\n2. Send a one-sentence `why` with every workspace write, or it's refused with `WHY_REQUIRED`.\n3. Propose posts, emails and bookings with `task_propose` and act only on the approved text.\n4. Ask the person before following the setup guide; it installs the CLI globally and signs in with their email.\n5. Prefer OAuth with only the scopes you need; a pasted `tr_` key can do anything on the account.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Context Mode Engine or Tokenrip?\n\nTokenrip scores 59.6 (C) on agent readiness against Context Mode Engine's 45.8 (E), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories. Context Mode Engine leads on reliability.\n\n### Do Context Mode Engine and Tokenrip need an API key?\n\nContext Mode Engine needs no key. Tokenrip takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Context Mode Engine and Tokenrip without installing anything?\n\nContext Mode Engine runs on your own machine, with no hosted endpoint listed. Tokenrip has a hosted endpoint at https://api.tokenrip.com/mcp.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/context-mode-vs-tokenrip.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/context-mode-vs-tokenrip.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"context-mode\", \"b\": \"tokenrip\"}`.
