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.

Only io.github.cyanheads/met-museum-mcp-server has a remote endpoint we check. How we check endpoints

Tools each declares

Only EverArt (Archived) has

Only io.github.cyanheads/met-museum-mcp-server has

met_get_object

met_search_collections

Both have

None

Tool names as the marketplaces declare them and as Ext Ops observed them on the endpoints (io.github.cyanheads/met-museum-mcp-server as of 2026-10-17). More tools is not better in itself: compare what each needs for the job.

Settings each asks for

Only EverArt (Archived) asks for

EVERART_API_KEY (secret)

Only io.github.cyanheads/met-museum-mcp-server asks for

MCP_AUTH_MODE
