## Choose when

### Choose atlassian-mcp-server if…

- atlassian-mcp-server is primarily JavaScript; cc-switch is Rust.
- License: atlassian-mcp-server is Apache-2.0, cc-switch is MIT.
- Tags unique to atlassian-mcp-server: ai, atlassian, confluence, chatgpt.
- Also covers LLM Frameworks.

### Choose cc-switch if…

- cc-switch is primarily Rust; atlassian-mcp-server is JavaScript.
- License: cc-switch is MIT, atlassian-mcp-server is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to cc-switch: hermes-agent, hermes, codex, desktop-app.

## When NOT to use atlassian-mcp-server

- AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism.
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.
