GitMCP vs ws
GitMCP is an MCP server published by docker. Marketplaces we read that list it: 1 (Docker MCP Catalog). ws is a plugin bundle for AI coding tools published by n-filatov. Marketplaces we read that list it: 1 (Claude Code: claude-plugins-community). As of our marketplace pass on 2026-10-13. 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
GitMCP
Tools for interacting with Git repositories.
ws
ws is a working set manager for Claude Code. Use /ws:map to describe a feature and Claude automatically identifies relevant files across your codebase, adding them to a focused, navigable list. Use /ws:install to set up the ws CLI on any OS. Working sets are branch-scoped and persistent — switch git branches and your context switches with you. Built for AI-assisted coding workflows where you need to track a curated set of files rather than browse your entire project tree.
How to run each
GitMCP As a remote MCP server
claude mcp add --transport http gitmcp https://gitmcp.io/docsws
No data for an automatic command: what its marketplaces declare does not say unambiguously how to connect it.
Commands built only from what the marketplaces declare; the full set for every client is on each card.
Tools each declares
The marketplaces of ws publish no list of tools, so we do not compare tools.
Settings each asks for
Neither one's marketplaces publish the settings it asks for.

Data comes from the Docker MCP Catalog (desktop.docker.com/mcp/catalog) and Docker Hub. Data comes from the public marketplace file https://github.com/anthropics/claude-plugins-community/blob/HEAD/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json. Figures come from our own regular passes over the marketplaces, last read on . We publish no contact details for plugin publishers.
