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 38

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

StackOne B

Good for A company that wants one governed MCP endpoint for staff agents across business systems, and product teams embedding per-customer connections with HR, recruiting and CRM coverage.

Ahead on

  • Reliability, 80 against 10
  • Schema & documentation, 78 against 68
  • Agent ergonomics, 75 against 54
  • Security & auth, 69 against 23
  • Maintenance & community, 84 against 35
  • Transparency & trust, 69 against 37

Also in its favour

  • Free to start without a card

Watch for

Session token URLs (https://api.stackone.com/mcp?token=...) put the credential in the query string, cover one linked account and expire after one year by default

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.

StackOne

StackOne's MCP server signs each person in with OAuth, lets them grant individual accounts and actions, and by default exposes two search and execute tools in place of the full catalogue. Session token URLs carry the credential in the query string for a year by default, and the Consumption Schedule and pricing page disagree on whether failed calls are billed.

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>

StackOne

  1. Send Accept: application/json,text/event-stream on every MCP request to https://api.stackone.com/mcp, by POST only. Without it the server answers 406
  2. In search_execute mode call {provider}_search_actions first and pass the returned action_id to {provider}_execute_action. Never hardcode action ids
  3. Pass the API key as the Basic auth username with an empty password, and name the linked account in x-account-id
  4. On 429 or 408 wait the seconds given in Retry-After. StackOne has already retried a provider's 429 up to five times within a 60-second request lifetime
  5. On 412 read errorCode and details.statusReasons. AccountErrorStatus needs a person to re-authenticate the linked account

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.
