Notion has put real work into its hosted server, and the result is a capable agent interface to a workspace, with the useful search and query tools reserved for Business plans.
Best for: Teams that keep their docs, wikis and project databases in Notion and want an assistant to read and update them.
Price: Free on every plan. Connected-app search, unlimited SQL queries and advanced search filters need Business ($20/member/month yearly) or Enterprise.

Atlassian has built the best-governed vendor server for work tracking, and from December the price of that convenience shows up as Rovo credits on the company bill.
Best for: Companies that run on Jira and Confluence Cloud and want agents to read and update work items under admin control.
Price: Included with paid Atlassian Cloud plans. Single-product lookups and writes are free; enriched search uses 1-10 Rovo credits a call, $10 per 1,000 over allowance.

A hosted Linear server whose read-only mode is enforced at the token, which makes it unusually easy to give an assistant access on day one.
Best for: Product and engineering teams on Linear who want assistants to triage, file and update issues with little setup.
Price: No charge for the server; it uses your Linear plan. Free (250 issues), Basic $10 and Business $16 per user/month billed yearly, Enterprise custom.

Built into Home Assistant and bound by its own exposure settings, this is the safest way to let an assistant near your locks, once you narrow what it can see.
Best for: Home Assistant users who want Claude or another assistant to check and control their devices under Home Assistant's own permissions.
Price: Free; included in Home Assistant (Apache 2.0). Cloud-based clients need remote access, through Home Assistant Cloud or your own setup.

For a team already running n8n this is the MCP server to start with: first-party, opt-in per workflow, and candid about where its workflow builder still stumbles.
Best for: Teams already on n8n who want AI clients to run and build workflows under n8n's own permissions.
Price: Included in every n8n edition, including the free self-hosted Community Edition. n8n Cloud and Enterprise are paid n8n plans.

For apps without their own MCP server it is often the only sensible route, and the two-task toll per call is the price of not wiring each one yourself.
Best for: Teams that already pay for Zapier and want assistants to act in apps that lack their own MCP server.
Price: No separate MCP fee: each successful tool call uses two tasks from your Zapier plan, failed calls are free. Sharing a server needs Team or Enterprise.

It gives a model the n8n knowledge it otherwise invents; run it read-only with telemetry off until you have read its 15 security advisories.
Best for: n8n builders who want an AI assistant to draft and validate workflows with accurate node configuration.
Price: Free and open source (MIT) to self-host. Hosted: free for 100 tool calls a day; Supporter €19/month for unlimited calls under a 5,000-a-day fair-use cap.

A properly maintained vendor server, hosted with OAuth and released almost weekly; its one serious flaw so far sat in the local HTTP mode and is patched.
Best for: Todoist users who want an assistant to plan their day and capture tasks from conversations.
Price: Free and open source (MIT); uses your Todoist account and plan.

Asana's v2 server handles the everyday jobs, but app registration, an unsupported bridge for most clients and an unpublished tool list make it harder work than its rivals.
Best for: Asana teams that want an assistant to look up, create and update tasks.
Price: Free to connect; uses your Asana plan (Starter $10.99, Advanced $24.99 per user/month billed annually). Per-client admin controls need Enterprise+ or Legacy Enterprise.

A well-built server whose real constraint is monday.com's daily API cap, not the tools themselves.
Best for: Teams running projects in monday.com on Pro or Enterprise plans who want assistants to update boards and report on status.
Price: Free and open source (MIT); calls count against your monday.com plan's API limits, from 1,000 calls a day on Free and Standard to 25,000 on Enterprise.

Google's own route into Gmail, Drive and Calendar, held back by preview status, a connector per product and a Gmail server that drafts but never sends.
Best for: Developers and IT teams in the Workspace preview who want first-party AI access to mail, files and calendars.
Price: No charge listed during Developer Preview; requires program membership and a Google Cloud project.

Price: Free; Apache 2.0 code with an AGPL-3.0 dependency (PyMuPDF). Optional OpenAI backend bills separately.
