Dart AI vs OpenProject
Dart AI is an MCP server published by its-dart. Marketplaces we read that list it: 1 (Docker MCP Catalog). OpenProject is an MCP server published by alex13slem. Marketplaces we read that list it: 2 (Official MCP Registry, Community GitHub marketplaces). As of our marketplace pass on 2026-10-14. This pair was picked by a reader, not by our comparison rule, so search engines are asked not to index the page.

Each figure is the marketplace's own and is never added up across marketplaces. A marketplace that publishes no figure shows none: no number is not zero.

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
Dart AI
Dart AI Model Context Protocol (MCP) server.
OpenProject

How to run each
Dart AI As a local MCP server: Docker image
claude mcp add --env "DART_TOKEN=<YOUR_DART_TOKEN>" --transport stdio dart -- docker run -i --rm -e DART_TOKEN mcp/dartRequires: DART_TOKEN (secret)
OpenProject As a local MCP server: npm package
claude mcp add --env "OPENPROJECT_API_TOKEN=<YOUR_OPENPROJECT_API_TOKEN>" --env "OPENPROJECT_URL=<YOUR_OPENPROJECT_URL>" --transport stdio openproject -- npx -y openproject-codex-pluginRequires: OPENPROJECT_API_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 Dart AI asks for
DART_HOSTDART_TOKEN (secret)
Only OpenProject asks for
OPENPROJECT_ALLOWED_UPLOAD_DIRSOPENPROJECT_API_TOKEN (secret)OPENPROJECT_AUTH_MODEOPENPROJECT_PAGE_SIZEOPENPROJECT_TIMEOUT_MSOPENPROJECT_URL
Settings as each marketplace publishes them. Asking for fewer is not better in itself.
