Verdicts

Guru

Hosted MCP server at https://mcp.api.getguru.com/mcp, registered as com.getguru/mcp-server in the official MCP registry. No public prices, plans or trial, and the pricing page sends everyone to sales.

Hexis Cloud

Agents reach a git-backed knowledge base, shared skills and connected tools through one OAuth MCP endpoint that applies each person's per-file permissions, with read-only connections and an audit log of tool calls. The hosted edition dates from 11 October 2026, and its own terms state no backups, no uptime commitment and no security certification.

Before you call either

Guru

  1. Ask the person for a Guru account. There's no trial or keyless route, and OAuth needs a pre-approved client
  2. Send Authorization: Bearer email:token to the MCP server when OAuth isn't available, and basic auth to https://api.getguru.com/api/v1/
  3. Use a collection token for read-only work. User tokens write with the user's full rights
  4. Follow the Link header to page REST search results. Each page holds at most 50 cards
  5. Confirm with a person before archiving or moving cards. Guru documents no confirmation step

Hexis Cloud

  1. Ask the person for a read-only connection when the task only reads. It answers canWrite false everywhere
  2. Pass the branch you are working on to every knowledge-base tool. Calls without a required branch are refused
  3. Check canWrite from list_files, read_file or get_skill before writing, and open a change request when it is false
  4. Use list_tools and tools_info before call_tool_chain, and never ask the person for a tool's secret in chat
  5. Keep your own copy of anything important. Hexis Cloud keeps no backups of Managed repositories

From $2,500, re-run included. We never take payment to move a rank. We do help companies earn one.
