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.
What each says it does
Azure
Catalog of official Microsoft MCP (Model Context Protocol) server implementations for AI-powered data access and tool integration.
azure-event-grid-webhooks
Receive and validate Azure Event Grid webhook deliveries. Use when setting up an Event Grid WebHook event handler, implementing the Microsoft.EventGrid.SubscriptionValidationEvent handshake (echo data.validationCode as validationResponse with HTTP 200), implementing the CloudEvents v1.0 HTTP OPTIONS abuse-protection preflight (WebHook-Request-Origin / WebHook-Allowed-Origin), checking the aeg-subscription-name / aeg-event-type / aeg-delivery-count headers, authenticating deliveries with a static delivery-property header or a Microsoft Entra ID bearer token, parsing Event Grid schema arrays vs CloudEvents objects, or handling events like Microsoft.Storage.BlobCreated. Event Grid does NOT sign the request body — there is no HMAC signature.
