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.

Commands built only from what the marketplaces declare; the full set for every client is on each card.
Tools each declares
The marketplaces of io.github.freema/mcp-jira-stdio publish no list of tools, so we do not compare tools.
Settings each asks for
Only Atlassian asks for
CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN (secret)CONFLUENCE_PERSONAL_TOKEN (secret)CONFLUENCE_URLCONFLUENCE_USERNAMEJIRA_PERSONAL_TOKEN (secret)JIRA_URLJIRA_USERNAME
Only io.github.freema/mcp-jira-stdio asks for
JIRA_BASE_URLJIRA_EMAILLOG_LEVELMCP_REDACT_SENSITIVE
Settings as each marketplace publishes them. Asking for fewer is not better in itself.
