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.

How to run each
EduBase As a local MCP server: Docker image
claude mcp add --env "EDUBASE_API_KEY=<YOUR_EDUBASE_API_KEY>" --transport stdio edubase -- docker run -i --rm -e EDUBASE_API_KEY mcp/edubaseRequires: EDUBASE_API_KEY (secret)
io.github.JhostinAleck/brightspace As a local MCP server: npm package
claude mcp add --transport stdio brightspace -- npx -y brightspace-mcpCommands built only from what the marketplaces declare; the full set for every client is on each card.
Tools each declares
The marketplaces of io.github.JhostinAleck/brightspace publish no list of tools, so we do not compare tools.
Settings each asks for
Only EduBase asks for
EDUBASE_API_APPEDUBASE_API_KEY (secret)EDUBASE_API_URL
Only io.github.JhostinAleck/brightspace asks for
BRIGHTSPACE_CONFIG
Settings as each marketplace publishes them. Asking for fewer is not better in itself.
