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.

OpenProject As a local MCP server: PyPI package
claude mcp add --env "OPENPROJECT_API_KEY=<YOUR_OPENPROJECT_API_KEY>" --env "OPENPROJECT_OAUTH_TOKEN=<YOUR_OPENPROJECT_OAUTH_TOKEN>" --env "OPENPROJECT_URL=<YOUR_OPENPROJECT_URL>" --transport stdio openproject-mcp-server -- uvx openproject-mcp-serverRequires: OPENPROJECT_API_KEY (secret), OPENPROJECT_OAUTH_TOKEN (secret), OPENPROJECT_URL
Commands built only from what the marketplaces declare; the full set for every client is on each card.
Tools each declares
The marketplaces of OpenProject 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_API_TOKEN (secret)JIRA_PERSONAL_TOKEN (secret)JIRA_URLJIRA_USERNAME
Only OpenProject asks for
OPENPROJECT_API_KEY (secret)OPENPROJECT_MCP_ADMIN_TOOLSOPENPROJECT_MCP_DISABLEOPENPROJECT_MCP_PROFILEOPENPROJECT_MCP_READ_ONLYOPENPROJECT_OAUTH_TOKEN (secret)OPENPROJECT_URL
Settings as each marketplace publishes them. Asking for fewer is not better in itself.
