Which one, for what

letme F

Good for An agent that knows the job but not the tool and wants one recommendation picked by a published rule, with the direct call details and fallbacks by not=.

Ahead on

  • Payments & pricing, 50 against 30

Also in its favour

  • No key needed to call it

Watch for

Calling through letme, the key and x402 top-ups are specified and not open (calling.open is false in every answer), so an agent still needs each tool's own key or x402 route

One B

Good for A person or small team that wants one MCP entry with a small tool footprint across many SaaS accounts, with access set per connection and a free plan.

Ahead on

  • Reliability, 82 against 10
  • Schema & documentation, 77 against 68
  • Agent ergonomics, 73 against 54
  • Security & auth, 69 against 23
  • Maintenance & community, 86 against 35
  • Transparency & trust, 63 against 37

Also in its favour

  • Runs on your own machine

Verdicts

letme

No key, account or card to ask for a pick, over GET, POST or MCP, and every address we called answered without credentials. Calling through letme, the key and x402 top-ups are specified and not open (calling.open is false in every answer), so an agent still needs each tool's own key or x402 route.

One

One's remote MCP server has three tools, OAuth 2.1 sign-in with PKCE and a consent screen that sets read only, read and write, full or per-action access for each connection. A person must sign in through a browser, the SOC 2 audit is unfinished, and the site's changelog stops at 13 July 2026.

Before you call either

letme

  1. Call the pick direct with its endpoint and connect snippet. letme.dev doesn't call tools yet, and calling.open says when that changes
  2. Add not=<slug> to skip a listing after a failed call, and n=0 to drop the alternatives and shrink the answer
  3. Check understood.confidence on a job in words, and ask again with a capability id (letme.dev/web.search) when it's low
  4. Don't ask for ungraded listings by slug. letme.dev/letme and letme.dev/localghost answer 404
  5. Send keys in a header, not in the URL, even where an answer's endpoint shows ?tavilyApiKey=<key>

One

  1. Call list_one_integrations first and read each connection's access field. When the policy is actions, run those ids directly without calling find_one_actions
  2. Send every operation a task needs in one find_one_actions call, up to 10 requests, each a platform and a short intent with no IDs, names or message text
  3. When a document comes back as a digest, call find_one_actions again with load and a section name. Don't guess parameters the digest left out
  4. After a timeout on execute_one_action, check whether the write took effect before sending it again. No idempotency key is documented
  5. A 403 for a call outside the grant won't succeed on retry. Ask the user to widen the grant in the dashboard or reconnect

Disclosure

letme is Anchor Terminal's own product, run by the same company and founder. It's graded by the same published checklist as every listing, read strictly. Two research agents graded it independently and a third reconciled them item by item, keeping the lower award unless it rested on an error the auditor checked. letme never picks it. Since 5 October 2026 the review panel reviews it like any listing, told that it's our own product and to be neither kinder nor harsher.

For companies

Do agents find, use and choose your tools?

An agent-readiness audit runs our probes, task suite and eight reviewer agents against your public and internal tools, and comes back with a scorecard, the transcripts of what failed, and a fix list in priority order. From $2,500, re-run included. We never take payment to move a rank. We do help companies earn one.
