      mcp.run - Pros & Cons

      Pros

      • Wasm sandbox is a genuine supply-chain security win over npm-installed MCP servers
      • Language-agnostic — author once, run everywhere
      • Capability manifest gives you per-tool least-privilege
      • Works with every major MCP client via a small local proxy
      • Dylibso's Extism heritage means the Wasm tooling is mature

      Cons

      • Wasm component model still requires a build step authors are learning
      • Smaller catalog than Smithery for popular off-the-shelf servers
      • Pricing model is still evolving
      • Local proxy adds a (small) install step versus pure stdio servers

      Crusoe - Pros & Cons

      Pros

      • Real sustainability story — meaningful for ESG-reporting customers
      • Vertical integration enables pricing and capacity flexibility
      • Sized for genuine frontier-scale training (thousands of GPUs)
      • InfiniBand fabric matches what frontier labs require
      • Strategic capacity commitments give predictable long-term pricing

      Cons

      • Not self-serve — no credit-card sign-up for small teams
      • Sales-led procurement with multi-week lead times for large clusters
      • Pricing only on negotiation — hard to comparison-shop quickly
      • Geographic footprint smaller than the big-three hyperscalers
      • Inference product is newer than the training-centric core business
