Armor vs Sequential Thinking
Side-by-side comparison of two Model Context Protocol servers. Pick the right one for Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or Cursor.
Drop-in Rust sidecar that wraps any MCP server: scans tool calls for prompt injection (UTS-39 confusable-fold + Unicode strip + Aho+Regex + directory-traversal)
Dynamic and reflective problem-solving through thought sequences.

When to pick Armor
Drop-in Rust sidecar that wraps any MCP server: scans tool calls for prompt injection (UTS-39 confusable-fold + Unicode strip + Aho+Regex + directory-traversal), validates Ed25519 manifest signatures (TOFU keystore + Sigstore Rekor bridge), strips loader-class env keys (LD_PRELOAD, NODE_OPTIONS, ...) from spawned children, detects tools/list schema drift (Layer 7: rug-pull / silent-redefinition, NFKC fingerprint, BLAKE3 or SHA-256 for FIPS/PCI/HIPAA, JCS), scans tool descriptions + full schemas for first-sight tool poisoning / full-schema poisoning (Layer 8, OWASP MCP03 — the poisoned-baseline gap drift can't see), serves a fully-wired rmcp 1.5 control-plane (MCP spec 2025-11-25, closes CVE-2026-42559 transitively), exports OTLP gRPC telemetry, blocks marketplace-poisoning vectors. <5ms p99 overhead.
