## Choose when

### Choose MCP-Nest if…

- Tags unique to MCP-Nest: llm, llms, mcp-nest, modelcontextprotocol.
- Also covers Inference & Serving.
- Use when you want to leverage the robust structure of NestJS to build MCP servers for providing access to your AI services.

### Choose mcp-notion-server if…

- Requirements: Requires understanding of MCP-compatible systems and integration with Notion API..
- Tags unique to mcp-notion-server: notion, notion-api, npm, typescript.
- Also covers Developer Tools.
