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.

Requires: BOX_CLIENT_SECRET (secret)

Cloudinary Structured Metadata As a remote MCP server

Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http structured-metadata-mcp https://structured-metadata.mcp.cloudinary.com/mcp --header "cloudinary-api-secret: <YOUR_CLOUDINARY_API_SECRET>"

Commands built only from what the marketplaces declare; the full set for every client is on each card.

Only Cloudinary Structured Metadata has a remote endpoint we check. How we check endpoints

Tools each declares

The marketplaces of Cloudinary Structured Metadata publish no list of tools, so we do not compare tools.

Settings each asks for

Only Box asks for

  • BOX_CLIENT_ID
  • BOX_CLIENT_SECRET (secret)

Only Cloudinary Structured Metadata asks for

  • CLOUDINARY_API_KEY
  • CLOUDINARY_API_SECRET (secret)
  • CLOUDINARY_CLOUD_NAME

Settings as each marketplace publishes them. Asking for fewer is not better in itself.
