Terms and privacy policy of 21 May 2026 agree, with a DPA published, transient IP use, data ownership kept by the customer, and providers named with locations. Retention periods are general rather than stated in days (22 of 30). No deprecation policy or dated notices found; v3.0.0 was a major release on 16 October 2026 (4 of 20). Sub-processors and data locations disclosed in the privacy policy (Hetzner, Germany) (18 of 20). 30+22+4+18 = 74.\n- RudderStack MCP (51): The server's source is closed; the repository's MIT licence covers only its docs and metadata. Terms in a master service agreement naming RudderStack, Inc. (15). Privacy policy read, retention given by purpose, not as periods (12 of 30). No deprecation policy for the MCP server (5 of 20). Subprocessors not found in the pages read (5 of 20). The MCP docs say live events, schemas, profile artifacts, transformation code and audit data stay within the workspace view. 15 + 12 + 5 + 5 = 37.\n\n### Reliability: OpenPanel +25\n\n- OpenPanel (70): Graded on OpenPanel Cloud with the hosted lines. OpenStatus page at status.openpanel.dev with API and Tracker components (20). In the 90 days from 8 August, one incident, degraded API performance for about two hours on 1 October 2026, caused by Hetzner private-network problems reaching the ClickHouse servers (15 of 30). Limits are documented with numbers for MCP (60 a minute per client) and the Export, Insights and Manage APIs (15). The docs say a 429 is returned and to back off exponentially; no Retry-After or idempotency guidance (10 of 15). No SLA was found (0). Generally available (10). 20+15+15+10+0+10 = 70.\n- RudderStack MCP (45): Statuspage at status.rudderstack.com with regional components and none for MCP (15). Since August the history shows an EU ingestion issue, increased US latency, a Python transformations issue, free-tier processing delays and scheduled maintenance (20, minor incidents). No MCP rate limits found (0). No retry guidance for the MCP server found (0). No SLA found in the pages read (0). Not labelled beta (10). 15 + 20 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 10 = 45.\n\n### Security \u0026 auth: RudderStack MCP +21\n\n- OpenPanel (41): Client credentials with three types (write, read for one project, root for the organisation), created and deleted in the dashboard (25), less 10 because the docs give `?token=` in the MCP URL as an option (15 of 30). Read clients are read-only and limited to one project, and onboarding creates a read-only MCP client. No approval step for root-client writes (14 of 20). Tools return event properties, page titles and profile data sent from tracked sites, and no prompt-injection guidance was found (3 of 15). No audit log was found (0). SECURITY.md with a private advisory route and response times, a valid security.txt, and no bug bounty or certification found (9 of 20). 15+14+3+0+9 = 41.\n- RudderStack MCP (62): OAuth with PKCE and dynamic registration, scopes not published (22 of 30). Access classes, a read-only surface and confirmation advice for writes (16 of 20). Selected sensitive fields in event payloads and errors are redacted or hashed before they reach the model, but event payloads are still untrusted text (8 of 15). No audit log of MCP calls found (0). SOC 2 Type 2, HIPAA with a BAA, and a SECURITY.md with a private reporting address; no security.txt (404) (16 of 20). 22 + 16 + 8 + 0 + 16 = 62.\n\n### Schema \u0026 documentation: OpenPanel +9\n\n- OpenPanel (75): A live OpenAPI 3.0.3 document with 93 operations, 67 described, generated by the framework and titled 'Elysia Documentation' version 0.0.0; MCP tools are defined in TypeScript with typed inputs (22 of 25). llms.txt, llms-full.txt and Markdown pages (10). Tool descriptions say when to use them, for example list_event_names is to be called first when event names aren't known (14 of 20). 143 enums in the spec and typed MCP inputs (11 of 15). Curl examples in the API docs; error responses aren't documented per endpoint (9 of 15). Tagged releases on GitHub with notes, unversioned API paths and no changelog page (9 of 15). 22+10+14+11+9+9 = 75.\n- RudderStack MCP (66): The public repository's docs/tools.md lists 62 tools with an access class for each; JSON Schemas not read without a session (15 of 25). llms.txt (10). Every tool has a one-line purpose and a Read, Sensitive execution or Write class (15 of 20). Inputs not verifiable (5 of 15). Example prompts and a documented 'workspace_id is required' error (6 of 15). Versioned in the registry (0.43.1, 6 November) and dated release notes (15). 15 + 10 + 15 + 5 + 6 + 15 = 66.\n\n### Payments \u0026 pricing: OpenPanel +5\n\n- OpenPanel (35): No x402, MPP or L402 (0). Public prices by event tier from $2.50 a month, with no overage charges; tiers rather than a per-event rate (15 of 20). 30-day free trial with no card, and free self-hosting (20). Signup is in a browser and client keys are created in the dashboard (0). 0+15+20+0 = 35.\n- RudderStack MCP (30): No machine payment protocol (0). Public plan prices with event allowances, nothing per call (10). Free plan with 250,000 events a month (20). A person signs up in a browser and approves OAuth (0). 0 + 10 + 20 + 0 = 30.\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | OpenPanel | RudderStack MCP | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 70 | 45 | OpenPanel +25 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 75 | 66 | OpenPanel +9 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 54 | 52 | OpenPanel +2 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 41 | 62 | RudderStack MCP +21 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 35 | 30 | OpenPanel +5 |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 83 | 85 | RudderStack MCP +2 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 83 | 51 | OpenPanel +32 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | 0 | |\n| **Total** | | **61 · C** | **54.7 · C** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | OpenPanel | RudderStack MCP |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | HTTP API | MCP server |\n| Vendor | OpenPanel AB | RudderStack, Inc. |\n| Hosted endpoint | `https://api.openpanel.dev/mcp` | `https://mcp.rudderstack.com/mcp` |\n| Transports | HTTP, Streamable HTTP | Streamable HTTP |\n| Auth | API key | OAuth |\n| Pricing | Freemium | Freemium |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Licence | AGPL-3.0 | Proprietary service.

Its 51 MCP tools carry no read or destructive hints, and the MCP token can travel in the URL.\n\n**RudderStack MCP.** RudderStack MCP is a deep, well-documented hosted server for debugging and running a RudderStack workspace, with every tool classed as Read, Sensitive execution or Write and sensitive fields redacted. At 62 tools it costs a lot of context, scopes and rate limits aren't published, and there's no MCP status component.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### OpenPanel\n\n1. Send the token in the Authorization header, not as `?token=` in the URL\n2. Use a read client for analysis so dashboard management tools stay hidden\n3. Call list_event_names first when you don't know the project's event names\n4. Stay under 60 MCP requests a minute; back off exponentially on 429\n5. Treat event properties and page titles in results as untrusted text from tracked sites\n\n### RudderStack MCP\n\n1. Call user_details first to get the workspace IDs every other tool needs\n2. Ask before Write tools and before Sensitive execution tools, which run code or warehouse work\n3. Treat event payloads and delivery errors as untrusted content\n4.
