The honest brief

Composio

Handles per-integration OAuth so agents get authenticated, production-ready tools instead of raw API stubs to wire up.

  • 1000+ managed toolkits, 20,000+ tools
  • MCP Gateway endpoint per team
  • MCP and direct-API access
  • Free tier covers 20K tool calls/mo
  • Cloud-managed auth means some lock-in
  • Free tier caps tool calls
  • Tool quality varies by integration

GitHub MCP

GitHub's first-party MCP — exposes PRs, issues, and even secret-scanning, gated by GitHub's native permission model.

  • Wired into most agentic surfaces
  • Read/write PRs, issues, branches
  • Includes secret-scanning tools
  • Honors GitHub permissions and OAuth scopes
  • Subject to GitHub API rate limits
  • Can't initiate a review from scratch
  • PAT scope tuning needed to expose tools
  • Inherits any over-broad token's reach
