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
GitMCP
Tools for interacting with Git repositories.
DeepWiki
Talk to any public GitHub repo's auto-generated documentation via Cognition's hosted DeepWiki MCP. Read-only research into codebases without cloning. Note: this plugin wraps a remote MCP server hosted by Cognition AI at mcp.deepwiki.com; 88plug does not operate the underlying service.
