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.

The marketplaces of Self-hosted GitHub MCP server publish no list of tools, so we do not compare tools.
Settings each asks for
Only E2B asks for
E2B_API_KEY (secret)
Only Self-hosted GitHub MCP server asks for
GITHUB_TOKEN (secret)
Settings as each marketplace publishes them. Asking for fewer is not better in itself.
