Lines where the two differ have a tinted background and bold values. Where the data itself says which value is better (more marketplaces, a larger figure of the same marketplace, a fresher release, a verified mark on a marketplace that lists both), the better one is also marked green with ▲ and the worse one red with ▼. Where it runs, the transport, the tools, the settings, hooks, the bundle's parts, the licence and the week's changes are marked only as different: more or fewer is not better in itself.

How to run each
Atlan As a local MCP server: Docker image
claude mcp add --env "ATLAN_API_KEY=<YOUR_ATLAN_API_KEY>" --env "ATLAN_BASE_URL=<YOUR_ATLAN_BASE_URL>" --transport stdio atlan -- docker run -i --rm -e ATLAN_API_KEY -e ATLAN_BASE_URL mcp/atlanRequires: ATLAN_API_KEY (secret), ATLAN_BASE_URL (secret)
DataPulse As a remote MCP server
claude mcp add --transport http datapulse-my https://mcp.data-pulse.my/mcpCommands built only from what the marketplaces declare; the full set for every client is on each card.

Tool names as the marketplaces declare them and as Ext Ops observed them on the endpoints (DataPulse as of 2026-10-16). More tools is not better in itself: compare what each needs for the job.
Settings each asks for
The marketplaces of DataPulse publish no settings it asks for, so we do not compare settings.
